Betting suggestion:

This should be a very complicated duel for the Roma team, because although its defensive sector has worked at home in this competition, in this confrontation and to reverse the situation will have to seek the attack more regularly, that is, will end up leaving even more spaces for Barcelona also seek its goals through a greater number of counterattacks. Recalling that while Roma need to win by three or more goals, Barcelona can lose by two goals difference. Thus, in front of the form that this duel is presented, besides the offensive DNA of Barça, the away team has the game in its favor, apart from the fact that it should not act backwards, that is, the team of Ernesto Valverde should take advantage of this to score at least two goals in this decisive duel. Highlight for Messi who arrives in style after having scored a hat-trick in its last clash against Alavés for the Spanish Championship.

Roma and Barcelona face at Stadio Olimpico, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Champions League (Quarter‑finals), after the (4‑1) home win by Barcelona in the 1st leg match. In 4 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 3 and tied 1. Barcelona registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Roma

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with a disadvantage of 3 goals, but with the advantage of having scored 1 away goals in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 14 conceded. They come to this match after a home loss against Fiorentina by (0‑2). Roma registers 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 home matches for the UEFA Champions League.

They haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition.

For this second match and as if the defeat in the first duel against Barcelona was not enough, Roma loast again, this time at home against Fiorentina for the Italian championship as mentioned above, that is, besides coming from two defeats for its competitions, in this context the team has not won for three games. It is worth remembering that to reach the semifinals of the competition Roma will need to win by three or more goals. As the team will play in its domains it is important to watch its performance in these conditions for the Champions League, where it won the majority, as it added three triumphs in four possible, and still had a draw, that is no defeats at home. When it comes to the income in its sectors, was the defensive one who stood out, because while on average scores only 1.25 goals per game, on the other hand did not suffer any goal in these four games played.
For this difficult confrontation Eusebio Di Francesco should opt for 4-3-3. In this tactical formation we emphasize Kolarov and Florenzi who should play by the sides. The most advanced ones will probably be Perotti, Ünder and Dzeko. Remembering that the latter deserves prominence, that is, it is the striker E. Dzeko who scored the highest number of goals in the competition, being in total five goals scored, apart from his two assists. For this match the coach does not have Rick Karsdorp, injured, besides Radja Nainggolan that is doubt.

Confirmed Lineup: Alisson, Alessandro Florenzi, Aleksandar Kolarov, Juan Jesus, Federico Fazio, Konstantinos Manolas, Radja Nainggolan, Kevin Strootman, Patrik Schick, Edin Džeko.
Coach: D. De Rossi, D. De Rossi.

Analysis Barcelona

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 3 goals, but has suffered 1 goal at home in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 13 wins and 2 draws at their stadium, with 40 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got a home win against Leganés by (3‑1). In the last 4 UEFA Champions League away matches Barcelona has a record of 1 win and 3 draws.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 away matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 28 of the last 32 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 14 of their 36 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Unlike its opponent Barcelona comes from two wins followed by its competitions, apart from the fact that in this context does not suffer defeats there are nineteen games in a row. In addition to coming from victory against Leganés by the Spanish championship as mentioned above in its last clash, the team arrives after having won a beautiful advantage against Roma and for this duel can lose even by two goals difference that will advance to the semifinals. It is worth noting its away income for the Champions League, where it drew most of the games because in four clashes, it won only once and at the same time added three draws, that is no defeats. Another fact is that the team away from home has been failing a lot offensively, because it only scores 0.50 goals per game. Already its defensive sector has been working very well, having suffered on average only 0.25 goals per match. 
For this match coach Ernesto Valverde should choose the 4-4-2. Highlight for G. Piqué and S. Umtiti in the defensive sector. Already the brain of the team continues being A. Iniesta. Also we highlight in the front L. Messi and L. Suárez, being the top scorer of the team is the penultimate mentioned, that is the Argentine Messi with six goals scored in the competition. 
For this match the coach can not count on Sergi Samper and Lucas Digne, both injured, besides Sergio Busquets who is doubtful. We also point out that Philippe Coutinho does not play for Barcelona in the Champions League this season.
