Real Madrid vs AS Roma
Uefa Champions League, Last 16 2nd leg, 1945 GMT
Roma clinched a 2-1 win two weeks ago, after Raul opened the score for the Spaniards. Roma are second in the Serie A, six points behind Inter, and go to Madrid with a 100% healthy squad. This should be the match of the season for the Italians. Totti said his team-mates must be "cinical", if they are to go through.
Real Madrid has a five point lead over Barcelona in the domestic league. But they will have to beat the odds tonight, as they haven't qualified beyond the last 16 in their last three Champions League seasons. Also, los Merengues will have to overdue the absences of Sergio Ramos (suspended) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (foot injury). Robinho is back and has scored twice in a 3-2 victory at the weekend, away at Recreativo. Over 80000 Real faithful will push their favourites all the way tonight and that will be a big factor.
I predict a win for Real Madrid tonight, priced at 3/5.
