"Roma have won their last two Serie A home games 4-0 and 4-1"

Villarreal are on their way to the Eternal City and Tobias Gourlay doesn't think they're going to have much fun there

Valencia did more than just annoy Real Madrid in Spain last night. Los Che blew La Liga's title race slightly open with a 2-1 win. We'd be pleased for them, if we hadn't been on the wrong side of them.

There's a Spanish accent to today's game, though it takes place in Italy. Roma are 4-0 up on Villarreal after the first leg of their Europa League and the aggregate score could get even worse for the Spaniards this evening.

Roma have won their last two Serie A home games 4-0 and 4-1. Earlier this season, the Giallorossi scored 11 times in three group-stage appearances at the Stadio Olimpico.

Villarreal have conceded nine times in five Europa League away games since April. They went W1-D3-L1 through those matches, but the opposition was not of Roma's calibre - with the exception, perhaps, of Liverpool, who inflicted a 3-0 defeat.
