The games remain open for this beautiful Europa League poster between FC Porto and theAS Roma. A week ago, the Lusitanian club and the Louve left on a parity score (1-1). And like this first confrontation, the second round should be just as animated and electric. The Roma, which is stuck in the soft belly of Serie A, is a lot on this competition to restore its coat of arms and give meaning to the last straight line of its season.
After the return of Claudio Ranieri on their bench, the Giallorossi showed in jerks that they were capable of having pride. The Italian capital club will also be carried by its European culture, since it has reached two continental finals in recent seasons. Finally, the prospect of having a Roman derby in the round of 16 is particularly exciting. But for that, Roma will have to pass the Porto obstacle. A mission always arduous in view of the experience of dragons in this competition.
The expected compos
Roma : Svilar – Celik, Mancini, Ndickka – Angelino, Kone, Paredes, Cristante, Saelemaekers – Dovbyk, Soulé.
Port : Costa – Otavie, Djalo, Pedro – Sousa, Eustaquio, Varela, Pepê – Mora, Samu, Borges.
