First leg : Arsenal 1 - 0 Roma
We start with Arsene Wenger's side. A side, I'd say, that is very low on Morale and confidence, whatever you may say. A match without Fabregas or Arshavin will not be their pick, but it has to stay that way. Bendtner, though better than Ade, is misfiring more often than not, and that should remain on the top of Arsene's to-do list before sending the team out for the second leg. Arsenal's defence has been outstanding, to say the least. But their strikers find it increasingly difficult with every game. Eduardo's return match was the only saving grace. If he's in shape for the second leg without any further injuries, Arsenal could walk away with the away goal and the progression. If not, it's going to be a tough encounter.
Roma, on the other hand, have lost one and drawn one match out of the last two games away from home in Serie-A, but have convincingly won their home fixtures. This should be their confidence booster. When a club like Atalanta (the last game away from home) could beat them 3 - 0, Arsenal could manage only a 1 - 0. Oh, but I am not sure if they played their full strength in that league match. Roma has proven in the past that they could be deadly in set pieces, and given Chelsea found it hard at Rome last time it went there, we are in for a Roma Special!
My Prediction for the Second Leg.
It's either
Arsenal 0 - 0 Roma
(or)
Arsenal 1 - 1 Roma
Either way, We can hope to see more of RVP this year in Europe.

Arsenal will get through unless their defense lose their concentration
Turned out to be funnier than I thought!
Good luck Arsenal.
You can never get past the next round with such a showing!
Hope Wenger wakes up and shoves the team back to life.
