The Dragons, Roma’s upcoming adversaries in the Europa League play-offs (the first leg is scheduled to be held in Portugal on Thursday, February 13th at 9 PM), have not been victorious in the championship for five matchdays.

Porto snatches a 1-1 draw at the 94th minute against Sporting Lisbon, in the opening match of the twenty-first matchday of the Primeira Liga. Anselmi’s team, who are the next opponents of Roma in the double challenge for the Europa League play-offs scheduled for Thursday, February 13th in Portugal (9 PM), and the subsequent week at the Olimpico (6:45 PM), earns a point thanks to a last-minute goal by Namaso. The Dragoes, who have not found victory in the championship for five games, thus remain in third place with 43 points, trailing by 8 from the league leader Sporting Lisbon.
