AS Roma’s chances to qualifying for the Champions League via the league will come under scrutiny when they host Salernitana. This round 36 encounter finds Roma six points off the top four and Salernitana eight points clear of the drop zone. Roma have a final to prepare for at the end of May, but this is also an important game. They are banking on qualifying for the Champions League through winning the Europa League but mathematically, they can through the league too. Jose Mourinho’s side hasn’t been scoring much lately, but has been doing just the bare minimum. A 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the last game booked them a place in the Europa League final. That was the third game in four that they had failed to score. Roma haven't managed more than a goal in seven games. They’ve scored more than a goal in just two of their last 10 matches. In their last six matches, none has produced over 2.5 goals.

Salernitana are coming from a winning outing, beating Atalanta 1-0 at home, and will be out to shock another higher placed side. Their win over Atalanta was the first in four matches. Salernitana have managed more than a goal in just two of the last eight matches. A run of two wins only in 11 matches isn’t a great one either, eight of those ended in draws. An area Salernitana have proven strong, and can be a key weapon, is in attack. They have scored in each of their last 10 matches, and six of the games have had under 2.5 goals. Away from home, though they’ve failed to win in six, Salernitana have lost just twice. Head-to-head, Roma are still stronger with four wins in five.
