Roma Preview – Can Roma make sure?
Roma earned a vital 2-0 win away from home at Braga in last week’s 1st leg clash in the Europa League which should set the hosts up for further success here, and having lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions overall, Roma look to be in the driving seat here.
Within this promising six-match sequence, Roma have picked up wins against Spezia, Hellas Verona, Udinese and the aforementioned 2-0 win in the 1st leg away at Braga, while overall results on the Europa League stage have also been solid.
Roma have lost just two of their last 12 ties at this level (which were both away from home), while on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico, the hosts are unbeaten in their last eight ties, winning five of these.
Braga Preview – Can Braga stage comeback?
Sporting Braga also bring an encouraging sequence of results into this return leg in Italy and despite having to overhaul a two-goal deficit on Thursday night, Braga will be hoping they can rekindle the sort of form which saw the Portuguese outfit register six wins from their last nine matches overall.
Four wins out of their last nine ties in the Europa League though suggest this won’t be an easy task against Roma despite winning seven of their last nine ties on the road in this competition which includes victories at Spartak Moscow, Wolves and Besiktas.
A 2-0 loss at home though doesn’t bode well for Braga who have managed to keep just one clean sheet from these last nine ties on their travels.
