Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsA 2-1 dispatching of bottom side Mwatate last time out, however, inspires, but just a little. Whether they can make the most of the remaining ten matches to finish in the top three remains a pipe dream, but not at all impossible. ##NAJAVA_MECA_9684877##At least this is what their newest midfielder, Brian Abich, thinks.

There are reasons for optimism, as Roma have only dropped points against big clubs this season. SSC Napoli and Inter Milan took all the points, while AC Milan ..
