AS Roma travels to Athens for their final league match in this season’s UEFA Europa League against Panathinaikos.
The Italian team has secured seeded status but is looking to secure a top-eight position for automatic advancement to the round of 16. Meanwhile, the Greek champions are fighting for at least a playoff spot.
Gasperini’s team has found solid form, winning four consecutive matches after a rocky start in Europe.
They beat Stuttgart 2-0 last week in Europa League play, showing strong performance throughout the game, before drawing 1-1 with AC Milan.
