Towards Porto-Rome

Ranieri's team reached the playoffs thanks to the home win against Frankfurt on the last day of the first phase, which allowed them to place themselves in 15th position with 12 points. Porto also reached the playoffs on the last day, thanks to the victory on the field of Maccabi which brought the Portuguese to 18th position with 11 points. After being eliminated from the Coppa Italia, Roma responded with the victory in Venice, which was fundamental to arrive in the best possible way to tonight's match. The European precedents between Porto and Roma, however, certainly do not smile on the Giallorossi; three eliminations out of three, with only one victory in six games. A certainly fearsome opponent that this season is not exciting; in the Portuguese League they have not won in five games and a new coach has recently taken over Martin AnselmiThe dragoes will line up with a 3-5-2, with Pepe in attack supported by the 2004-born talent Omorodion.

The Ranieri will seek victory with the 3-5-2, relying on the usual pair dovbyk-Dybala, supported by Angelino and Saelemaekers on the wings.

The Porto-Roma match will be played at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto at 21.00:XNUMX. It will be visible live on Sky and streaming on the Sky Go and Now apps.
