The Real society look for this Thursdayfrom 9:00 p.m.in it game of return from his play off of UEFA Europa League round of 16a comeback against Rome to grant him the ticket to continue in the competition. The 2-0 recorded at the Olympic Games in Rome, in the first leg, means that Imanol’s team must win by at least two goals, which would take the tie to extra time, and by three goals to achieve the goal of qualifying. It is expected, for this, that, at the start, Real will line up an eleven very similar to that of the match played in Italy.

The Rome, trained by José Mourinho, proved to be a tough opponent in their stadium, and got an important advantage; However, last weekend, they were defeated at home by Sassuolo, thirteenth ranked in Serie A, also conceding four goals (3-4). La Real will try, in this context, to play a great game, full of success, and refine as much as possible against the opposing goal.

The San Sebastian group He did not sign a bad game in the first leg, although it is true that Roma’s second goal, conceded by Real in the final minutes of the match (Marash Kumbulla did it in the 86th minute), put things on the txuri-urdin team noticeably more difficult in order to eliminate your rival. Roma have in their coach, Mourinho, one of their great assets; The Portuguese coach bases his main successes on his defensive strength, so Real will seek to take advantage of his quality and speed in attack to maximize their chances of moving forward in the competition.

Real’s line-up is expected to be very similar to the one Imanol prepared for the match in Rome. Mikel Merino seems safe, given that the red card he saw in Mallorca on Sunday forces him to rest against Elche this coming weekend. Carlos Fernández may also have options, as an offensive reference, after scoring in Mallorca and being forced to stop, like Merino, in his case for the fifth yellow card that he saw in Son Moix. However, Alexander Sorloth is always the first option for the coach of Real.

the romeFor his part, he arrives at the decisive match in San Sebastián with less confidence, after losing to Sassuolo, after seven home games, five in the League and two in the Europa League, without conceding a goal. This Sunday, the Roman team faces Lazio, in the derby of the Italian capital, but Mourinho has made it clear that he will use all his resources to defend the advantage obtained in the Olympic. Roma have gone three straight away games without winning.

Mourinho will be able to count on the Italian Lorenzo Pellegrini, captain of Roma, who will play with a special mask after receiving a blow to the face in the first leg that resulted in thirty stitches.
