Roma v Real Madrid preview and tips

Roma scraped through the group stage with just a single win, three draws and a goal difference of -5. However, they are on a run of 4 straight wins in the Serie A and look in the best form of the season. Eight different players scored for Roma in the group stage, more than any other team in the competition.

Roma could welcome back experienced duo Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi, both of whom have been struggling with calf problems.

Possible lineup
Roma: Szczęsny; Rüdiger, De Rossi, Manolas; Florenzi, Pjanić, Keita, Nainggolan, Digne; Salah, Džeko.
Out: Capradossi (knee)
Doubtful: De Rossi (calf), Totti (calf)

Zidane will make his Champions League debut as a manager when Real Madrid take on Roma in the first leg of their tie. Los Blancos coasted through the group stage with a record of 5 wins and a draw under previous boss Rafa Benitez, which belongs in the past. Ronaldo scored 11 goals in the group stage breaking the relevant record. Real Madrid have won in three of their four visits in the Italian capital to play Roma in the Champions League (lost one).

Marcelo has recovered from the shoulder injury that ruled him out of Real’s win over Athletic Bilbao at the weekend and is in contention to start. However, the Spanish giants are still without Pepe and Gareth Bale.

Possible lineup
Real Madrid: Navas; Marcelo/Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Danilo; Modrić, Kroos, Isco; James Rodríguez, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Out: Bale (calf), Pepe (foot)
Doubtful: Marcelo (shoulder)
