AS Roma will be looking to make full use of their home advantage and move to the top of their group table when they welcome FC Basel in their next Europa League match on Thursday. Sign up today to watch the game live with watchfootballnow.com.
Roma are currently positioned second in the group table, two points above Fulham and need at least four points from their remaining two matches in order to book their place in the knockout stages.
The Italian side secured a vital win over Fulham in their last match and with Roma improving steadily in the domestic league, coach Claudio Ranieri will be confident that his side can get the required result over Basel and book their place in the next round.
Francesco Totti will be available for selection after recovering from his knee injury along with Daniele de Rossi who missed out against Atalanta due to a broken cheek bone.
Meanwhile Basel coach Thorsten Fink will be hopeful that his side can repeat their performance from Matchday 1 and claim another win over Roma that will book their place in the knockout stage.
Goals from Carlitos and Federico Almerares had given Basel a comfortable 2-0 win in their first group match. However Roma will start the game as favorites with the club overcoming a slump in form to win four of their last five matches in all competitions.
