Roma form (last 5): 0W-1D-0L. Sl. Bratislava form (last 5): 0W-0D-1L.

Roma's midfield is severely impacted: Bryan Cristante is out until late October with back and knee issues, and Donyell Malen is a major doubt after a muscle scare. However, Lorenzo Pellegrini is finally returning to the squad. Slovan may be without veteran defender Kenan Bajrić, who left their last Champions League match early with an injury.

Clinical Roma Dominance (75%): Roma dominates possession and territory from the start, utilizing Dybala and Soule to break down a deep block for a multi-goal victory.; Attritional Home Win (15%): Roma struggles with final-third efficiency due to Malen's absence but eventually breaks through via a set-piece or individual brilliance.; Low Block Resolute Draw (10%): Slovan manages to park the bus successfully, frustrating a Roma side that is missing its primary midfield engine, Cristante.

Roma are 25th in the UEFA Champions League with 1 points from 2 games. Sl. Bratislava are 36th with 0 points from 2 games.
