The second leg of the round of 16 of the Europa League returns to action this week as Real Sociedad welcomes Roma to the Reale Arena.

The reverse fixture saw Roma cruise to a 2-0 victory and they will be hoping for a repeat of that result. Roma has been very impressive this season and have been consistent with their performances so far. They sit in 5th position in the Serie A with 47 points and have been decent in both attack and defense. Going into this game, they will be very confident of making something happen in this game.

Real Sociedad on the other hand will head into this game on the back of a poor run of games which has seen them fail to win all of their last 5 games in all competitions with 3 draws and 2 horrible losses. This poor run has indicated that they are currently out of form and that will be a cause for concern going into this game.

Looking at the records have shown that Roma have the clear advantage in this game. AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has lost only two of his 16 knock-out matches as a manager in the UEFA Europa League and he will be looking to extend that record for his team. They dominated the reverse fixture and currently have a 2-0 advantage on aggregate and they will be looking to build on that. We are backing Roma here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.

欧联杯16强第二回合比赛将于本周开始，皇家社会将在皇家球场迎接罗马。

在逆转的比赛中，罗马以2-0的比分取得了胜利，他们希望能重复这样的结果。罗马本赛季的表现令人印象深刻，到目前为止他们的表现一直很稳定。他们以47分排名意甲第五，进攻和防守都表现出色。在这场比赛中，他们会非常自信地让比赛发生一些事情。

另一方面，皇家社会在这场比赛中遭遇了一波糟糕的比赛，他们在过去的5场比赛中没有赢下所有比赛，3平2负。这种糟糕的表现表明他们目前状态不佳，这将是这场比赛的一个担忧。

从记录来看，罗马在这场比赛中拥有明显的优势。罗马主帅穆里尼奥在他担任欧联杯主教练的16场淘汰赛中只输掉了两场，他希望能在球队中延续这一纪录。他们统治了反赛程，目前在总比分上有2-0的优势，他们将寻求在此基础上继续前进。我们在这里支持罗马，因为我们希望他们能够通过确保胜利或获得平局来避免失败。
