Italian side Roma recorded a 1-0 win against domestic rivals Inter at the weekend to return to winning ways and head coach Claudio Ranieri is confident that the Giallorossi can get a good result in Tuesday's Champions League match against CFR Cluj as well.

"When you beat the team that won last season's Champions League after playing a very good match and showing you can focus for more than 90 minutes, you start to believe in your own ability. Now we don't want to stop," said Ranieri to uefa.com.

"CFR Cluj won in Rome just two years ago; I remember Juan Culio scored two goals and he will play tomorrow too, but they are not a surprise package now.

"CFR will play a 4-4-1-1 formation and look to sit back and hit us on the counter-attack because they have some very fast players.

"They also have four players who are more than 190cm tall so we will have to pay attention from corners and free-kicks."
