UEFA Europa Conference League Group C rivals Roma and CSKA-Sofia have been paired together for the second successive season, having also met in the UEFA Europa League group stage last term. Previous meetings • Although Roma finished top of UEFA Europa League Group A last season, and CSKA bottom, the only points dropped by the Italian side were against their Bulgarian opponents, who held them to a 0-0 draw at the Stadio Olimpico on Matchday 2 before exiting the competition on a high with a 3-1 victory against the Giallorossi in Sofia. • Roma have yet to concede against Bulgarian opposition in Rome, winning all of their other three home fixtures. Form guide Roma • Roma finished seventh in Serie A last season, 29 points behind champions Inter, to become Italy's first representatives in the UEFA Europa Conference League. After topping that 2020/21 UEFA Europa League group, which also included Young Boys and CFR Cluj, Paulo Fonseca's side eliminated Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk and Ajax in the knockout phase, only to fall to Manchester United (2-6 a, 3-2 h) in the semi-finals. • Now led by another Portuguese coach, José Mourinho, Roma won both legs of their UEFA Europa Conference League play-off, 2-1 away and 3-0 at home to Trabzonspor. • A 0-2 defeat against holders Real Madrid in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League group stage is the only one of their last 23 European fixtures in the Italian capital that Roma have lost, winning 17. They are now unbeaten in 13 UEFA matches at the Olimpico (W9 D4). CSKA-Sofia • winners last season thanks to a 1-0 final win against Arda Kardzhali, CSKA-Sofia also took third place in the league as well as reaching the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. • The only one of three Bulgarian clubs to have come through this summer's UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying phase, CSKA needed penalties to knock out Latvia's Liepāja after two goalless draws in the second qualifying round before beating Osijek (4-2 h, 1-1 a) and then, thanks to a dramatic late extra-time winner, Viktoria Plzeň in the play-offs (0-2 a, 3-0 h). • CSKA are without a win in six European away fixtures (D4 L2) and have failed to score in eight of the last ten. Links and trivia • Roma boss Mourinho has won all five of his previous matches against Bulgarian teams, including three last season for Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League – 2-1 at Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the second qualifying round, plus 3- 1 away and 4-0 at home against Ludogorets in the group stage. • CSKA coach Stoycho Mladenov played from 1989 to 1991 for Vitoria Setúbal, at the same time that Mourinho was starting his illustrious coaching career with his hometown club's youth team. • Mladenov faced Roma as a CSKA Sofia player in the 1983/84 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round, playing the full 180 minutes of a tie in which the Italian side won both legs 1-0 en route to the final, which they lost on penalties to Liverpool in their Stadio Olimpico home. • CSKA's Georgi Yomov and Kaloyan Krastev both played in Bulgaria's recent 1-1 draw against Italy in Florence in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier; Roma pair Bryan Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini came off the bench for the European champions.
