 PROBABLE LINE-UPS

ROMA


Stekelenburg
Taddei, Juan, Heinze, Jose Angel
Pjanic, De Rossi, Greco
Lamela, Totti, Bojan

FIORENTINA


Boruc
Gamberini, Natali, Nastasic
Cassani, Lazzari, Montolivo, Kharja, Vargas
Jovetic, Ljajic

Injuries to defenders Marco Cassetti and Nicolas Burdisso will see Taddei move into a full-back role and Gabriel Heinze partner Juan in central defense. Leading scorer Pablo Osvaldo will likely miss the match with a thigh injury he sustained in training last week.

Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi could rest Valon Behrami after the Switzerland international picked up a knock at the weekend, while Khouma Babacar is still not yet ready to feature for the Viola.
