AS Roma vs Barcelona Preview

AS Roma vs Barcelona

Competition – Champions League

Stadium – Stadio Olimpico

Date: 10th April 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Barcelona would feel they have done themselves a world of good by winning the first leg 4-1 at Camp Nou even though they needed some luck with two own goals to break the duck.

With Valencia coming up after this game, they should appreciate that lead and look to complete the job here without exerting themselves too much.

AS Roma did not recover well from that loss to Barcelona as they went on to lose their very next game 2-0 at home to Fiorentina.

They play Lazio on Sunday and they would not want a depressing result from this game as that would affect their morale before that derby.

Barcelona won their next game 3-1 against Leganes to make it 19 games unbeaten in all competition since they lost to Espanyol in the Copa del Rey.

They are gunning for the treble and they will be one step closer with a win here.

Barce have not lost a Champions League game since they lost to Juventus last season.

Roma have kept four clean sheets at home this season and all but one of their home Champions League games have ended in under 2.5 goals.

Barcelona have also seen less than 2.5 goals scored in all of their away Champions League games this season.
