With a three-nil lead heading into the second leg of their Europa League Round of 16 matchup against Shakhtar Donetsk, the smart money is on Roma advancing to the quarterfinals.

Fonseca spoke in certain terms: “We want to win. It will be important to defend well, but we want to score too. We are not coming here just to shut up shop.”

The lineups are in, so let's see if Fonseca will be true to his word.
