Roma will be looking to respond to their heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Real Madrid when they host ŠK Slovan Bratislava at the Stadio Olimpico in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Leading 3-1 at home against Real Madrid going into the 83rd minute, the Giallorossi will still be scratching their heads as to how Los Blancos scored three goals in seven minutes to win 4-3 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma have had little time to feel sorry for themselves and they did get back to winning ways in their following Serie A game in a 2-0 victory at home against Genoa.
Next, facing a Slovan Bratislava who were thumped 3-0 at home against Stuttgart, manager Gian Piero Gasperini and his side should fancy their chances of picking up their first three points of the UEFA Champions League league phase in the Eternal City.

Roma v ŠK Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Best Bet: Roma to win to nil @ 11/10
Getting back in the saddle with that victory over Genoa, it was a much more recognisable defensive display from Roma at the weekend.
A solid defence has been at the foundation of the Giallorossi’s impressive start to the season, as they have only conceded three goals in seven Serie A games so far this term.
Keeping three clean sheets in their last four league games, Roma look capable of keeping Bratislava off the scoresheet on Tuesday.
The Sky Blues struggled in front of goal in their heavy defeat against Stuttgart and Roma to win to nil appeals here at 11/10.
Alternative Bet: Donyell Malen 2 or more goals @ 7/4
One of the form strikers in Europe right now, Donyell Malen is well priced to score two or more goals in Tuesday's showdown at the Stadio Olimpico.
Bagging a brace of goals against a star-studded Real Madrid side, Malen showed what he can do against one of the best in the business.
The Netherlands international, who is the second-highest goalscorer in Serie A this season with six goals, is great value to bag at least two goals against this fragile Sky Blues’ defence.
Roma v ŠK Slovan Bratislava Bet Builder Tip
Lorenzo Pellegrini anytime goalscorer
Gianluca Mancini to assist
Pays 11/1
Working his way back to match sharpness following his injury layoff due to a thigh issue, Lorenzo Pellegrini is worth considering in the anytime tryscorer market.
Scoring in his previous two European games before his time on the sidelines, Pellegrini has shown a liking for continental competitions and he’s fancied to get back on the scoresheet here.
Meanwhile, defender Gianluca Mancini is an interesting selection in the assist market that boosts this two-fold Bet Builder to odds of 11/1.
Already providing two assists in his six Serie A appearances and creating six chances in total in that spell, Mancini to add another assist to his growing collection gets the nod.
