Having taken a slim 1-0 lead in the home-leg of the European tie courtesy of Edoardo Bove’s second-half effort at Stadio Olimpico, Mourinho’s men gritted their teeth and defended resolutely for 90 minutes on Thursday in the away-leg at Bay Arena. Last year’s Europa Conference League-winners managed to hold Xabi Alonso’s men to a goalless draw in Leverkusen, while Roma recorded only one shot throughout, and even failed to hit the target. Meanwhile, when it comes to the Serie A, Giallorossi have taken just five games, while losing three times in the period. The poor run of form cost them the top four, as Roma have slipped down to the seventh spot in the Italian top flight standings, having collected 59 points from 35 games, six adrift of fourth placed Inter Milan, have played a game more. Winning the Europa League final against Sevilla on May 31 appears to be Roma’s best chance to secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
Salernitana, on the other hand, have extended their stay in the Serie A for at least one more season after Hellas Verona lost out to Atalanta on Saturday. Granata secured their eighth league-win of the season against Atalanta last time out courtesy of Antonio Candreva’s lone goal three minutes into the injury time. The Campanian club have lost only one of their last 12 games, while drawing eight matches in the period. 17 points taken from their last 12 outings has proved to be enough for the Salerno side to ensure survival. Meanwhile, Salernitana have failed to win any of their last seven away-fixtures, while eight of their 14 league-draws have come on the road.
Roma probable starting lineup: Patricio, Mancini, Cristante, Ibanez, Missori, Bove, Wijnaldum, Zalewski, Pellegrini, Solbakken, Abraham
Salernitana probable starting lineup: Ochoa, Lovato, Gyomber, Pirola, Mazzocchi, Coulibaly, Vilhena, Bradaric, Candreva, Dia, Piatek
