A Roma defence marshalled by Chris Smalling, who has earned some rave reviews since being loaned out by Manchester United, must shut him out again.
Fonseca will be looking to take the Eternal City outfit far in Europe. As long odds-on favourites with bookmakers to qualify from the tie, Roma can complete the job.
Gent haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last six home games. That is a real worry with proven goalscorers lining up against them here.
