Roma will try to continue with the good results when they visit Romanian champions Cluj on Thursday night.
Cluj aims to get their revenge on Roma for a heavy 5-0 loss at Stadio Olimpico, but the Romanians are once again seen as underdogs in the clash against the Giallorossi. The good news for the hosts is that Burca, Chipchiu, and Vojtus have all recovered from coronavirus. They reacted well followed their 5-0 hammering with a 2-0 win over FC Arges Pitesti ahead of the international break. The resumption of club football saw Cluj lose ground in the Romanian title race, losing 1-0 to UTA Arad at home, despite fielding most of their first XI.
Ciprian Deac and Ovidiu Hoban miss out on Cluj, as the pair has tested positive for coronavirus. Mike Cestor and Billel Omrani are out injured with long-term issues, while center-back Paulo Vinicius is carrying a muscle injury. Alexandru Chipciu replaced Deac in the lineup in Cluj's previous game and is expected to reprise that role. Damjan Djokovic should come in for Alexandru Paun, who played the full 90 minutes against UTA Arad.
Cluj (4-3-3): Cristian Balgradean (GK); Mateo Susic, Denis Ciobotariu, Cristian Manea, Camora; William Soares, Damjan Djokovic, Catalin Itu; Alexandru Chipciu, Mario Rondon, Michael Pereira
Roma has been in fine form, even without team captain Edin Džeko, thrashing Genoa 3-1 before the international break, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan getting a hattrick. The Armenian continued his scoring streak this weekend. His brace after Borja Mayoral's opener earned the Giallorossi a 3-0 win over Parma at home.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan turned on the style once again with two strikes that were as spectacular as they were nonchalant, Roma swiping Parma aside. The Armenia international is on stunning form at the moment and taking a leadership role in the absence of Edin Dzeko. Borja Mayoral sprung the offside trap to open the scoring, then Mkhitaryan let a loose ball drop down for a casually inch-perfect volley under the bar. The former Arsenal midfielder’s second of the afternoon was also impressive, a cushioned volley finishing off a well-worked team move.
Paulo Fonseca received good news ahead of this game as Edin Dzeko returned a negative coronavirus test and should be available. However, Borja Mayoral is in fine form and is expected to start, with Dzeko rested for the league game against Napoli in three days. Fonseca is dealing with a center-back crisis as Federico Fazio and Marash Kumbulla are still isolating after testing positive earlier this month. The defensive issues are compounded by the fact that Roger Ibanez and Gianluca Mancini picked up muscle injuries against Parma. Chris Smalling is still nursing a knee injury, which may require Bryan Cristante and Juan Jesus to start in the center of defense.
AS Roma (3-4-2-1): Pau Lopez (GK); Rick Karsdorp, Bryan Cristante, Juan Jesus; Bruno Peres, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Gonzalo Villar, Riccardo Calafiori; Pedro Rodriguez, Carles Perez; Borja Mayoral

Roma won the easily first match but the final result favored them too much, Cluj played decent in the field but they were helpless in the defense. Both teams have still something to play for so both teams to score is the most reasonable bet.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
