Team News

Roma
Porto
  • Devyne Rensch misses out for the hosts through injury, while Bryan Cristante and Alexis Saelemaekers are both suspended here.
  • Lorenzo Pellegrini should move back into midfield in the absence of Rensch, while Zeki Celik could replace Saelemaekers at right wing-back.
  • That would see Mats Hummels return to the starting XI at the heart of a three-man backline.
  • FC Porto have two absentees for Thursday's trip to Roma with Marko Grujic and Martim Fernandes both ruled out.
  • Martin Anselmi was named Porto boss last month and has favoured a three-man defence in the opening weeks of his reign.

Prediction

  • Roma and Porto reconvene at the Stadio Olimpico, with everything to play for in their Europa League play-off tie after last week's 1-1 draw in Portugal.
  • Both sides claimed 1-0 away victories in domestic action over the weekend, with Roma triumphing at Parma and Porto at Farense.
  • Roma last hosted Porto in European competition back in February 2019, winning 2-1 in the first leg of Champions League last 16 tie.
  • Expect goals at both ends, but with home advantage, Claudio Ranieri's side might just edge it here and advance to the round of 16.

  • Roma wins

  • Interesting Game to look for a goal in the second half!

  • Two teams that will be looking to win the Europa League. Intreresting game.

  • @RedLei Porto is not looking to win any trophy this season. They already sold the few good players they had and still have a 400 M debt.

  • Under 3.5
