On Tuesday, February 28, AS Roma will face Cremonese at the Giovanni Zini Stadium, marking their return to Serie A action. Last time out, Jose Mourinho’s team advanced to the UEFA Europa League round of 16 and will attempt to build on that success.
On Monday, Cremonese was held to a 2-2 draw by Torino at the Stadio Olimpico, which prevented them from earning their first league victory of the season. In their last 23 games, Davide Ballardini’s team has lost 14 and drawn nine. As they are 11 points from safety, the hosts are rooted to the bottom of the standings and will need a strong season to give themselves a chance of beating the drop.
Meanwhile, Roma overcame a 1-0 first-leg deficit to defeat Salzburg 2-0 and advance to the Europa League round of 16 on aggregate. The team under Mourinho is now back in Serie A, where they have only lost one of their last ten games and are vying for a spot in the top four. Roma is level on points with AC Milan, who are in fourth place, with 44 points from 23 games.

Cremonese vs Roma Team news :
Jose Mourinho may alter his starting lineup on Tuesday due to the fact that Roma has been involved in an intense European tie for the past two weeks and Juventus will be at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. In defense, Marash Kumbulla must make at least one change, with Chris Smalling suspended and prepared to take his place.
Georginio Wijnaldum, on the other hand, ought to start in central midfield, and Stephan El Shaarawy might make an appearance so that Paulo Dybala can rest before meeting his former club. Tammy Abraham, who is required to wear a mask because of an eye injury she sustained against Verona, competes with Andrea Belotti for selection at the front.
