The ACL curse has been hanging over the head of AS Roma players since the beginning of the season. As such, with a mounting list of injuries, AS Roma will travel to the Stadio Ennio Tardini to face Parma for the Coppa Italia Round of 16. The PAR vs ROM game will kickoff on January 16 (Thursday night 1:45 am IST).
PAR vs ROM Dream11 preview
Back-to-back league defeats and a growing list of injuries will mean that AS Roma will head into the game against Parma with an injury-hit and a confidence-depleted squad. The trip to the Stadio Ennio Tardini will not invoke fond memories for Paulo Fonseca's side. The last time AS Roma travelled to face Parma, the Giallorossi lost 2-0 to the hosts. Mattia Sprocati and Andreas Cornelius provided the goals that handed Roma their only away defeat of the season. The Coppa Italia game will hand Roma a break from their dismal form in Serie A. With the second half of the calendar year underway, Roma will have the chance to put the defeats to Torino and Juventus behind them at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.

PAR vs ROM Dream11 top picks
Nicolao Zaniolo was the latest casualty of AS Roma's ACL curse last weekend. Zaniolo now joins the likes of Javier Pastore, Davide Zappacosta, Federico Fazio and Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the treatment table. Considering striker Edin Dzeko is also suspended for this game, our PAR vs ROM Dream11 top picks will be somewhat limited when it comes to the AS Roma stars. That being said, Paulo Fonseca will welcome Davide Santon and Justin Kluivert back into the fold after prolonged absences.
