Competition: Champions League, Group Stage, 4th Day
Game: Roma – Leverkusen
Venue: Olimpico
Date: 04/11/2015 @ 7.45 pm
The 4-4 draw between the 2 teams in their last game for the competition will be a score that will remain in the history of the competition as one of the most impressive and memorable ones, not only due to the score as such but also due to the change in the score in the course of the game.
ROMA
Roma has suffered a 1-0 away defeat from Inter in its last game for the Serie A, mainly as a result of the fact that it couldn’t finish off some of its really good goal-scoring opportunities in the game. In its 3 so far games in the group all of which have been goal-goal games and 2 of which have been over 2.5 goals games, Roma picked up just 2 points and today it has a last chance to retain some chances for qualification into the next round of the competition, if it beats Leverkusen.
Today Roma will be missing the services of Keita and Totti while de Rossi may be able to join his team right from the beginning of the game.
Possible line-up in a 4-3-3 formation: Szczesny, Florenzi, Manolas, Leandro Castan, Digne, Pjanic, de Rossi, Nainggolan, Salah, Dzeko, Gervinho
LEVERKUSEN
Leverkusen has also been defeat in its last game in the league, with 2-1 from Wolfsburg away from home. Leverkusen has picked up 4 points in its 3 so far games in the league (1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat) with an associated 9-7 goals’ aggregate in them. All of its 3 games have ended as goal-goal and over 2.5 goals ones.
Leverkusen will be missing the services of Woo, Jedvaj and probably Bender.
Possible line-up in a 4-2-2-2 formation: Leno, Donati, Tah, Papadopoulos, Wendell, Kampl, Kramer, Bellarabi, Brandt, Kießling, Hernandez
Prediction
Roma is in greater need to win this game but I cannot think of how either of the teams will remain goalless tonight;
