Serie A Preview: Roma eye much-needed win

Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic is desperate for his team to turn their form around and end their three-game winless run.

Rudi Garcia's men suffered a 2-1 loss at Inter last time out, leaving them just two points clear of fourth-placed Napoli.

Pjanic urged his team to have belief in themselves as they push to secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League.

"We have to be aware of what's going on, we mustn't let this opportunity slip away, we have to get Roma as high up the table as possible, starting on Wednesday," the Bosnia-Herzegovina international said.

"We have six matches left to play and we'll give everything to collect as many points as we can and qualify for next season's Champions League.

"We have to believe in ourselves and go out there with a fierce will to win."

But Massimiliano Allegri's men are cruising at the top of the table and meet a team that have suffered three straight losses.

Under-fire coach Filippo Inzaghi's Milan, who are 10th, need a win when they host Genoa.
