FC Salzburg vs AS Roma: Kick-off time and where to watch on TV and online

It is no secret that Jose Mourinho takes the Europa League very seriously and his AS Roma side will be back in action against a talented FC Salzburg team.

European football is back already to add an extra bit of complication to AS Roma’s season and their Europa League knockout round play-off against FC Salzburg on Thursday evening will not be easy.

Roma were able to finish second in their Europa League group which contained Real Betis, HJK and Ludogorets Razgrad. That means they have this play-off against a team that finished third in a Champions League group containing AC Milan, Chelsea and Dinamo Zagreb.

Whilst Roma have become very focused on their bid to reach the top four and the Champions League, Jose Mourinho takes this competition seriously and with the Coppa Italia defeat against Cremonese, it is their only chance of silverware.

FC Salzburg vs AS Roma: Predicted lineups

With Georginio Wijnaldum back from his long-term injury, expect him to see some minutes in Austria, although they may not be from the start. There may be some rotation from Mourinho but not drastic amounts as it has become clear he has limited faith in his bench. Ebrima Darboe and Rick Karsdorp are the only players out.

FC Salzburg sit comfortably atop the Austrian Bundesliga and they are not struggling with injuries at the moment. Highly rated youngsters such as Maurits Kjaergaard and Noah Okafor are expected to start.

FC Salzburg predicted XI vs AS Roma (4-3-1-2): Kohn; Ulmer, Pavlovic, Solet, Dedic; Kjaergaard, Gourna-Douath, Seiwald; Sucic; Fernando, Okafor.

AS Roma predicted XI vs FC Salzburg (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Celik, Tahirovic, Matic, Zalewski; Dybala, Pellegrini; Abraham.
