Result AS Roma 2 - 0 Stuttgart, Thursday 22 January 2026, UEFA Europa League Matchday 7, League Phase

A remarkable triumph for Roma as they overcame Stuttgart on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Roma secures 3 points, elevating them to sixth place in the standings with a total of 15 points. Achieving sixth place would ensure direct qualification to the round of 16. Stuttgart, on the other hand, remains stagnant at 12 points, dropping to 12th place in the standings, with only a slim chance of qualifying without entering the playoffs. This was the first time Roma and Stuttgart have met in European competitions.

Roma triumphed over Stuttgart with a score of 2-0, thanks to a brace from Niccolò Pisilli. The initial goal was netted in the first half during the 40th minute.

The second goal was scored in the 93rd minute. Rensch advanced the ball from deep to Paulo Dybala, who, upon lifting his head, identified Pisilli's run. A shot directed towards the near post resulted in Nubel being beaten once more. A brace for Pisilli, much to the delight of the fans at the Olimpico.

Svilar showcased another outstanding performance, thwarting at least three scoring chances for the Germans.

Roma's upcoming match will feature them hosting AC Milan at the Olimpico stadium on matchday 22 of Serie A; following that, the Roman team will head to Athens to compete against Panathinaikos in the final matchday of the Europa League group stage. Stuttgart will wrap up their campaign with a match against Young Boys on January 29th.



 

Stats BEFORE the game AS Roma vs Stuttgart



Roma's previous encounter with a German team was in January 2025, where they secured a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.

The last 21 matches between Roma and German clubs in European competitions show a remarkable balance: each side has claimed eight victories, with five matches ending in draws. This balance holds true when looking solely at their Europa League encounters, which consist of seven matches (two wins for each team and three draws).

Stuttgart has managed to win just two out of their 13 matches in major European competitions against Italian teams, with 4 draws and 7 losses: they won 1-0 against Torino in September 1979 and again 1-0 against Juventus in October 2024.

Having won their last three matches in the Europa League, Roma is on the verge of achieving four consecutive victories in the tournament for the first time since they had a streak of five wins during the 2020-21 season under Paulo Fonseca.

After their recent 3-0 win against Celtic in the Europa League, Roma has the chance to record two consecutive clean sheets in European competitions for the first time since October 2023, when they faced Servette and Slavia Prague, also in the Europa League.
