Roma’s season risks falling apart completely in under a week, so the pressure is on against Feyenoord.
It kicks off in Rotterdam’s Feijenoord Stadium at 20.05 GMT and follows on from a deeply disappointing 1-1 first leg draw.
The match itself was perhaps overshadowed by the actions of Dutch hooligans who ran riot in Rome, damaging historic monuments including the 17th Century Fontana della Barcaccia.

Rudi Garcia is feeling the pressure after drawing six of the last seven games and has to prepare for a Scudetto showdown with Juventus on Monday.
Add injuries to Alessandro Florenzi, Victor Ibarbo, Douglas Maicon and Kevin Strootman, this becomes a daunting task.
Francesco Totti leads the trident with Gervinho and Adem Ljajic.
Feyenoord have problems too, as Luke Wilkshire and Lex Immers are both suspended, while Sven van Beek is injured.
Colin Kazim-Richards scored at the Olimpico and leads the line again.
The Dutch side have won their last four home games in Europe and are unbeaten here against Italian sides with two wins and three draws.
Roma, on the other hand, haven’t won any of their last six continental away fixtures.
In fact, the Giallorossi are without a win in five European games overall, having crashed out of the Champions League after an opening 5-1 victory over CSKA Moscow in September.
