Mourinho returns to Roma as Madrid visits Stadio Olimpico for UCL clash.
Real Madrid [WWWLW] arrive in the Italian capital seeking to maintain their impressive European record under Mourinho. They narrowly defeated Inter Milan 2-1 on UCL matchday one, capitalising on high turnovers for both goals, before grinding out a 1-0 victory over Villarreal on Saturday despite Vinícius Júnior’s dismissal. Los Blancos have lost just one of their UCL main-draw fixtures under Mourinho, recording 15 wins and three draws in the process [15W, 3D, 1L]. However, their away form presents a potential weakness, with four defeats across their last eight UCL trips [4W, 0D, 4L]. Both of their competitive losses this season have also come on the road, suggesting they remain vulnerable away from the Bernabéu. Madrid will be without Éder Militão and Rodrygo. They may file out in a 4—2—3—1 setup with Kylian Mbappe leading the charge in the final third against Roma.
