AZ Alkmaar-Roma, the probable formations

Roma will face away AZ Alkmaar in the seventh day of the Europa League: the whistle is scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m. The Capitolini, currently 14th in the standings, are looking for valuable points to gain direct access to the round of 16, however, the possibility of a playoff spot seems more concrete. The Dutch have not won in the Europa League since Nov. 7 and tonight they will be aiming for a success in front of their home crowd.

Home coach Martens will opt for a 4-3-3, between the posts the 2004-born Owusu-Oduro, in defense Goes and Penetra, leading the midfield Koopmeiners, brother of the Juventus footballer, in attack will be Parrott, with alongside Lahdo and Poku.

Ranieri will respond with the usual 3-5-2, defense composed of Mancini-Hummels-N'Dicka, a two-man midfield with Paredes and Kone, on the flanks Angelino and Saelemaekers, in attack Dovbyk with El Shaarawy, preferred to Pellegrini, and Dybala behind him. Still out from the summoned Cristante.

Probable lineups

AZ Alkmaar (4-3-3): Owusu-Oduro; Moller Wolfe, Penetra, Goes, Maikuma; Clasie, Mijnans, Koopmeiners; Lahdo, Poku, Parrott. All: Martens

Roma (3-5-2): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, N’Dicka; Saelemaekers, Angelino, Paredes, Kone, El Shaarawy; Dybala, Dovbyk. All.: Ranieri.
