In the play-off round, it looks like AS Roma was a little unlucky. because the opponent they have to face is Porto, who is also quite famous for being strong in the Portuguese league. And Porto even plays in the UCL quite often, which means this team has quite a lot of experience in major European competitions. So AS Roma will definitely not be able to easily get through the play-off round. It's just that fortunately for Porto this season they are not as good as before. In the past, when there was Pepe at the Porto club, we all know that Porto's defense is one of the best. But after Pepe left this team had a fairly mediocre defense. From here we realize that there is no figure who can replace Pepe there. Pepe has now retired and I am a fan of this player. I like this player because he is always able to play well even though he is 40 years old. He is the same as Cr7 who always amazes us.

Roma football team will play next match against Porto football team and that match will be interesting because both teams have brilliant players which are doing well and that match will be of UEFA Europa League . That match will be organize in the stadium of Estádio do Dragão . The head to head record of Football team is excellent because that team won two matches against Roma team and that team always won the matches one sided. That point goes to team of Porto but every day is different and every person will be in different situation and we will see good match and I think there will be thrill in this match.Both teams have one week to prepare for that match and any team could win this match and no team is favorite for that match.

Roma still has a match against Milan today and also Venezia before facing Porto. Facing Porto will not be easy, but Roma's performance is also sometimes surprising and very difficult to predict.
If in the first leg, Roma manages to hold Porto to a draw, I am a little optimistic that Roma will advance to the next round. But if the situation in the first leg is bad for Roma, then it will be difficult for them to create a chance to advance to the next round by winning the second leg.

I assume the match against AC Milan not too important for Roma because this is only Coppa Italy match so i think Ranieri will do a rotation to Roma squad for this match and i think they will be more likely to focus for the match against Venezia because if won from this match it can improved their position on Serie A
Actually the owner didn't set high target to Ranieri so if Roma failed to get the trophy from this competition Ranieri position as a manager still safe at least at the end of this season but i think Roma will considers the match against Porto is important too
Roma performance when they beat Frankfurt is very impressive and in Serie A too their performance is getting better so they might be will make Porto get in trouble and for the first leg i am sure Roma will attempt to get draw result and if possible won from Porto
