Match preview
Tuesday’s match between AS Roma and Cremonese at the Giovanni Zini Stadium marks their return to Serie A play.
Last time out, Jose Mourinho’s team advanced to the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League, and they will seek to build on that success this time around.
At the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, Cremonese were held to a 2-2 draw by Torino, denying them their first league victory of the year. The team of Davide Ballardini has now drawn nine games and lost 14 of them.
The hosts, who are currently 11 points from safety, are firmly entrenched at the bottom of the standings and will need a great season finale to give themselves a chance to avoid the drop.
Roma, meanwhile, defeated Salzburg 2-0 to reverse a 1-0 first-leg victory and advance, on aggregate, to the last 16 of the Europa League.
The team led by Mourinho will now head back to Serie A, where they have only dropped one of their past 10 games and are engaged in a fierce battle for a top-four finish. Roma is now third in the league standings with 44 points after 23 games, tied on points with fourth-place AC Milan.
The visitors should take it easy at all three points given the gap in experience, quality, and form between the two sides.
