PREMATCH – Fundamental match for Roma who this evening have the opportunity to lock down fourth place and forcefully get closer to third-placed Milan. In fact, in the event of a victory, the Giallorossi would be 3 points behind Napoli (KO against Juve), and 4 points behind Fiorentina and Atalanta, jumping to -2 behind the Rossoneri.
LATEST FROM TRIGORIA – Some doubts about the formation for José Mourinho, in particular in midfield where Paredes and Cristante are certain of the ownership. The third shirt will be entrusted to one of Lorenzo Pellegrini (rising prices) and Bove. Obligatory choices instead in defense as announced by Special One himself yesterday in the press conference. In fact, there is no news on the Smalling front while for Kumbulla we will have to wait a few weeks.
