Roma coach Claudio Ranieri is expecting a very hard game against Fulham in their Europa League showdown at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Giallorossi, still without star forward Francesco Totti through a knee injury, go into the game third in Group E, one point behind the second-placed Cottagers and two behind leaders Basle with three games remaining.
Fulham arrive in the Italian capital on the back of a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League and Ranieri, a former coach of Fulham's west London rivals Chelsea, knows his team will be put to the test.
He said: "Fulham did well against Manchester City and they won convincingly against Liverpool. We expect a difficult game.
"We knew that would be the case in our first game against them where we managed to come home with a point (from a 1-1 draw)."
"It's going to be complicated because Fulham will try to hit us in fast counter-attacks."

it is simple.roma have many average players and a few stars,most do not fight for the cause of the club. fulham have many average players and no star players except the goal keeper but they do fight for the club. fulham have a settled manager and owner.roma have no settled ownership and she ms sensi is hated by the fans and has no money, the manager is new of roma.= draw
