Roma reached the knock-out stages of the Champions League last season and that was mainly down to their home form.They drew with Barcelona (that always looks good on your CV), beat Bayer Leverkusen and drew with BATE Borisov.That took them into the last 16 where they lost both legs 2-0 to eventual winners Real Madrid. Away form in the Champions League was poor last season so they'll be pleased with coming back from Porto with a 1-1 scoreline. They took the lead through an own-goal and saw Porto equalize in the second half via a penalty. The Portuguese side won at Maccabi Tel Aviv last season in the Champions League but could only draw with Dynamo Kiev and lost to Chelsea causing them to finish third in the group and head to the Europa League where they lost 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the last 32. Roma are a strong side at home losing just one Serie A game last season and kicked off this season with a 4-0 home win over Udinese. Roma should be able to make home advantage pay here and get through to the group stages again.
