AS ROMA
In the second leg of their Europa League round of 32 match against Salzburg, Roma will try to build on their tenacious 1-0 victory against Verona. In front of their home crowd, the Romans want to overturn a one-goal disadvantage.
Roma has advanced after dropping the very first leg in three of their previous five two-legged elimination matches in major European tournament. Roma came in second in their group, six points below Real Betis, and was denied a direct path to the Europa League’s round of 16.
The Italians had a lackluster group phase, losing to Ludogorets in their opening match before defeating Bulgaria to secure their place in the knockout rounds. Roma suffered their third loss in five games against Salzburg, but they rebounded back the next day to upset Hellas Verona in Serie A.
FC SALZBURG
However, after crashing out of Champions League, Red Bull Salzburg will have emerged as losers in the first leg of their Europa League elimination stage play-off against Roma last week. The Austrian team, who finished third in their group below Chelsea and AC Milan, had just come from a lengthy winter vacation when they hosted the Romans.
Nevertheless, the reverse match, which took place at Stadion Salzburg last week and resulted in a 1-0 victory for the Austrian champions, left Jose Mourinho’s squad needing a strong showing on their home field to turn the tie around.
If they defeat the Giallorossi in Rome, they will be midway to the final 16 of the Europa League, despite having missed the round of Sixteen in Europe’s major club tournament for the second consecutive season.

With 11 victories and only two draws in their previous 13 domestic matches in the knockout stages of significant European competitions, the Giallorossi remain unblemished.
