Roma Host Bottom-Club Pisa With Attack Depleted
Roma's bid for a Champions League place faces a test with key forwards still out.
Overview
- Roma face Pisa at the Stadio Olimpico, with kick-off Friday at 7:45 p.m. BST in Serie A matchweek 31.
- Roma sit sixth on 54 points, four behind fourth-place Como, after a 5-2 defeat at Inter last time out.
- Paulo Dybala remains out after knee surgery, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson are sidelined, and centre-back Gianluca Mancini is expected to miss two to three weeks with an adductor issue.
- Predicted line-ups suggest Daniele Ghilardi steps in for Mancini and Donyell Malen leads the attack after scoring seven league goals since January.
- Pisa welcome back Rafiu Durosinmi from suspension but arrive bottom on 18 points, nine from safety, following a 1-0 home loss to Torino.
