Roma will square off against Yokohama F. Marinos in a friendly at the Japan National Stadium on Monday (November 28).
The Serie A giants are on a Japan tour, and this will be their second game against a J-League team. Roma played out a goalless draw against Nagoya Grampus on Friday. Tammy Abraham, Nemanja Matic, Roger Ibanez and Chris Smalling were in the starting XI, and that could be the case again here.
Yokohama won the J-League earlier this month, pipping 2021 champions Kawasaki Frontale to the title by a couple of points. This will be their first game since their 3-1 win over Vissel Kobe, which helped them to the league title on the last day of the season.
