The hosts will be looking to build on the 3-1 away win they registered over Cremonese in Serie A over the weekend. They went into the break in the lead thanks to Matias Soule's 17th-minute strike while Evan Ferguson and Wesley Franca scored second-half goals to put them 3-0 up by the 69th minute. Francesco Folino scored a consolation strike in injury time.
Midtjylland, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Sonderjyske in the Danish Superliga. Aral Simsir broke the deadlock to put them ahead in the 14th minute, but Kristall Ingason equalized just two minutes later. Lirim Qamili scored a dramatic match-winner from the spot in the 10th minute of injury time.

Roma vs Midtjylland Prediction
Roma's bright start to Serie A continued over the weekend, with their victory taking them two points clear at the summit. Things are more dire on the continent for Gianpiero Gasperini' side, having lost both home games in the UEL so far.
Midtjylland, by contrast, are flying high. They are the only side yet to drop points in the tournament to this point, with their four-game winning streak representing their longest winning run in a major European competition.
However, Roma know that a failure to win here would leave them in a tricky situation heading into the last 3 games. Back the hosts to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
