[*] — the position of the team in the tournament table

On Thursday, Roma avoided a 2-2 away defeat against Tottenham in the fifth round of the main stage of the Europa League thanks to Mats Hummels’ debut goal in stoppage time. Despite far from the best results, the Giallorossi are still in the playoff zone. Claudio Ranieri’s team still has three matches to go, and no matter how terrible their performance has been this season, the relegation of the Roman club from the European Cups is not very likely, because most of the competitors in the fight for a place in the next round are significantly inferior to it in class.

In the 13th round of the Italian championship, Roma played their first match after Ranieri’s return. The capital club visited Napoli, the leader in the tournament table, and suffered a minimal defeat (1:0). Away failures are still an integral part of the Giallorossi (a streak of 14 matches without a win), and as for home matches like today’s, the Romans have better statistics at the Stadio Olimpico, but they are still far from ideal (Series A: 3B, 3P; LE: 1B, 1H). Most (9 out of 13) of the available points in the domestic arena, the team won at home.

Last Tuesday, Atalanta visited Young Boys in the fifth round of the main stage of the Champions League. “The Nerazzurri” crushed their opponent with a score of 6:1 with the help, in particular, of five productive actions (2+3) of Charles De Quetelare. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team missed out for the first time, but remained one of the three undefeated participants, being on the fifth step of the European Cup standings. Whether the team will be able to keep a place in the 1/8 finals of the playoffs is difficult to say now, because in addition to the meeting with Sturm, there are also matches against Real and Barcelona ahead.

In the domestic arena, things are going no worse for Atalanta. In the 13th round of Serie A, Gasperini’s wards left the Stadio Ennio Tardini with three points, where they defeated Parma with a score of 3:1 (seventh consecutive victory in the tournament). The Nerazzurri coach himself, however, received two yellow cards in the second half, so he will not be able to manage his wards from the edge of the Stadio Olimpico. However, we will see whether this will affect the success of the departure this evening. In 13 matches of the Italian championship with the participation of the club from Bergamo, 50 goals were scored, so the meeting may well be pleased with the results.

INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS Roma: Svilar — Mancini, Hummels, Ndika — Celik, Kone, Cristante, Angelinho — Pellegrini, Dybala — Dovbyk
