AS Roma – Atletico Madrid Game Preview

Just twice have faced these bands so far in the 1998/1999 UEFA Cup season. The Spaniards then won both matches.

AS Roma comes after a rather long break and did not play even on the weekend because of the weather conditions in Genova. He did not make his debut as he wanted in the new season and lost the derby with Inter. He then showed that he had some problems on the defensive phase. In the Champions League he has always had problems and in the last three games he did not even score. He only won a match of the last 15 games in this competition.

He has managed to bring Patrik Schick over the past few days, but Salah does not seem so inspired on the offensive. Emerson and Patrick Shick will be missing because of medical problems. Bruno Peres and Florenzi remain uncertain.

Probable Team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kolarov, Fazio, Manolas, Juan Jesus, De Rossi, Nainggolan, Strootman, Perotti, Defrel, Dzeko.

"It's an important game, one of the most beautiful for a player. We have to fight them with their own weapons and give us all the best on the field. I want to see a determined Rome team." - Eusebio de Francesco, coach -

Atletico Madrid starts a new edition of the Champions League, after each of the previous four seasons was eliminated by the big rival Real Madrid. Even if it is unbeaten in the new season, it can not be said that it started well. He drew with Girona and Valencia, bands in front of whom he should not have had difficulty. He is one of the specialists of this competition and always gets into the final stages. He is one of the trophy contenders this year.

It is very important to note that Simeone does not have any real problems at the UCL debut.

Probable team (4-4-2): Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis, Gabi, Saul, Koke, Carrasco, Torres, Griezmann.

"Am jucat trei ani la Lazio si mereu am respectat Roma. Este o echipa puternica, care intra bine din benzi si care face un fotbal placut, estetic. Am avut rezultate in Liga Campionilor si daca o tinem tot asa, mai devreme sau mai tarziu vom reusi sa cucerim trofeul." – Diego Simeone, antrenor –

Let me know what do you thing and discuss it, I have an ideea.
