Roma will look to continue their top four finish when they welcome Salernitana to Stadio Olimpico for their Serie A Matchday 32 fixture on Sunday night with kickoff at 19:00 EAT.
Roma are coming off a 2-1 defeat against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie on Thursday. The Giallorossi have now suffered twice at the hand of the Norwegians in the competition.
They will now be looking to quickly get over the defeat as they turn their focus to Serie A this weekend. Roma have recently been flying high in the division as they are unbeaten in their last 10 top-flight matches, claiming six victories in the run and they are coming off back-to-back victories.
The run has been vital for Jose Mourinho’s side who have boosted their top-four ambitions as they now sit fifth on 54 points just five points off fourth-placed Juventus. They will therefore look to continue their run in Serie A as they aim to intensify their push for Champions league football next season. Roma claimed a 4-0 victory against Salernitana at away in the reverse fixture earlier this season and they should be confident of completing a double on Sunday.
Salernitana, on the other hand have endured life back to Serie A with the side claiming just three victories from their 29 matches this season, and they currently sit at the bottom of the table on 16 points with nine points adrift of safety.
It has really been a miserable campaign for Salernitana who suffered a 1-0 defeat to Torino in their previous league match. They have now failed to win in their last 10 Serie A matches, suffering five defeats in the run and they will require a miracle to avoid immediate return to the Serie B.
