The Italian side currently sit bottom of their group, with Cluj and Basle currently battling for second place. Roma have defeated CFR Cluj, but lost to Bayern Munich. Basle have lost to both Bayern and Cluj, and another win against Roma is unsurprisingly their best chance of securing more points.
The Italian side do not look like the side of old when they were a force to be contended with. Manager Claudio Ranieri’s days in charge of the club may be numbered if his side bow out of the competition in the group stage
