Roma - Liverpool Champions League

Champions League Roma – Liverpool

Roma will try to make a new recovery after Barcelona. Liverpool will have to manage a big advantage of 3 goals. No benefit in terms of motivation

State of form

Roma beat all odds to advance to the Champions League semifinals this season and remains on a feat against Barcelona in 1/4 (3 goals back). Hardly beaten in Liverpool last week (5-2), the Italians will have to sign exactly the same performance to qualify on Tuesday. Opposed Chievo Verona in the league last weekend, Edin Dzeko’s teammates have quietly imposed at home (4-1), with another double the inevitable Bosnian striker.
Under the leadership of charismatic coach Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool have had a great season so far and have defeated FC Porto and Manchester City in previous rounds. In the first leg played at home last Wednesday, the Reds have clearly dominated the Roma (5-2) but the 2 goals conceded late in the game left a bitter taste to partners Mohamed Salah. With a slightly reworked team, the English missed their Premier League match last Saturday, held in check at home by the modest formation of Stoke City (0-0).

The staff for ROMA vs LIVERPOOL

For this meeting, Roma are deprived of holders Strootman and Perotti, and habitual substitutes Karsdorp and Defrel. Moreover, the important left side Kolarov is not assured of being able to hold his place.
Five potential holders are missing on the Liverpool side: defenders Clyne and Matip and midfielders Can and Oxlade-Chamberlain (injured in the first leg). The English international Lallana is on the other hand back. Author of a double and two assists, Mohamed Romain Salah hurt his former teammates in the first leg. He forms a formidable duo with the Brazilian Roberto Firmino.
