Roma set to capitalise on their first leg advantage in Europe


The Europa League knockout stages continue tonight, as the return legs of the quarter-finals take place.

So, here are all the details on how you can watch Ajax vs Roma in the UK and the US, including online streaming services, TV schedules and kick-off times.

Prediction

Experienced campaigners Dzeko, Pedro and Mkhitaryan will help Roma capitalise on their first-leg advantage - and will assist in steering their team to a potential semi-final date with Manchester United.

A possible striker shortage for Ajax could keep the scoreline down in what is likely to be an open affair, so they may be left ruing the oversight that sees Sebastian Haller watching on from the sidelines rather than offering a focal point in attack.

Scoreline prediction: Roma 1-1 Ajax
