AS Roma take on the visitors Red Bull Salzburg in the second leg of UEFA Europa League 1/16-final round. The first leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Thursday, February 23rd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Roma risks ending up without a place in the Champions League. The "Wolves" clearly make this their main goal of the season, not for the first time, but many previous attempts have been unsuccessful. Including the 2021/2022 season, even under Mourinho - which could be considered relatively successful due to their victory in the Conference League. Currently, the problems of Juventus and partially Milan provide unique opportunities to climb into the top 4 of Calcio. However, there have been setbacks: elimination from the cup after a home defeat to Cremonese, and a draw in Serie A with Lecce. It seemed that the "Jalorossi" should have had in mind the possibility of reaching the Champions League through winning a weaker European competition, especially since Mourinho has experience with Man Utd. But it all ended in defeat in Salzburg. And then they only managed to beat Verona 1-0 in Serie A. Mourinho's men have won 7 out of 11 home matches in Serie A this season, have not lost points in the last four of those.

Red Bull Salzburg are trying to maintain their status. Last year, the loss of Matessich, the millionaire who practically created this sports franchise, was a serious blow. And the question remains whether this status will remain under his successors. At least for now, things are going relatively well by inertia. No one has a chance of catching up with the wards of Jesse on their home field. In the Champions League, unlike the previous cycle, they only took 3rd place - but they lost to giants, Milan and Chelsea. And, most importantly, they managed to squeeze out the maximum result at home against another prestigious opponent. Thanks to a goal by Kapaldo in the 88th minute, they managed to beat Roma. Not the most pleasant memories are connected with Italy by the Salzburg players - in the last round of the group tour in the Champions League, they were defeated by another Italian team in Milan 0-4.
The teams played against each other for the first time last Thursday. The "Wolves" will try to win, but most likely in a pragmatic style. The visitors will try to close themselves off, and they may succeed. Let's bet on "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
