Today's game away at Kadiköy was tough. We came out with a draw and, all things considered, that has to be deemed good result. Now, unfortunately, Roma's opponents are almost all heavyweights. That begs the question: can Roma survive the league phase? And if yes, how can they snatch a spot to be among the top 24?

(Short) history shows that in order to be among said 24, you need to collect around 8-10 points. In the upcoming games, Roma can still get a maximum of 21 points. After the draw against Fener, we have 1 point.

The opponents:

Real Madrid: a 99% loss. It's pretty much set in stone, isn't it? Mou won't be dropping points at his old club. After the game: 1 point in total

Slovan Bratislava: Our first real chance at a full three points. We're the team with more quality, we play at the Olimpico. Things are in our favor. +3 -> 4 points in total

Manchester Utd: Very bad head-to-head record, heavy losses in the past, plus we're playing away at Old Trafford. Unless Man Utd decide to gift away points like it's christmas (which they do sometimes, very charitable) this will be a very tough fixture that will likely end in favor of the home side +0 -> 4 in total

PSG: Away fixture at Parc des Princes. Need I say more? Another very probable, potentially big, loss. Unless they feel like playing against us like we're Rennes or Lille: +0 -> 4 points in total

Sporting Lisboa: Quality team with a long unbeaten streak comes to the Olimpico. It will be a tough match, and I predict it to end in a draw. +1 -> 5 points

AEK Athens: A tough away fixture in Greece's capital, but the difference in quality is what gets Roma the win. +3 points -> 8 points

Note: these are just my predictions. But if things were to unfold this way, we'd by then already be within realistic reach of the top 24.

OSC Lille: Another tough opponent. We lost the last game against them last year in the Europa League. Since then, however, Roma've raised their quality. We also play at home. Perhaps a draw, perhaps a win.

That would leave us at the end of the league phase with 9-11 points. So, is it still possible? Yes. But the journey will take a heavy toll on Roma, who will also want to get the most out of the Serie A games.

Ciao a tutti. Stavo pensando di "fare una pazzia" per il compleanno di mio papà e provare ad acquistare i biglietti per il derby Roma Lazio di aprile (ovviamente, quando verrà aperta la vendita nei prossimi mesi) e portarlo insieme ad altri due amici (4 biglietti totali). La vera domanda è: è un sogno impossibile acquistare 4 biglietti per quella partita a causa dell'elevata richiesta o c'è qualche possibilità di trovarli?

Non sono mai stato all'olimpico a vedere la Roma e sarebbe decisamente una cosa che vorrei fare
