Ivan Pelizzoli is confident that Roma can again qualify for the Champions’ League this season.

The capital outfit, who have already been eliminated from Europe, have had a disastrous start to the campaign.

But the Giallorossi are now just two points away from a top-four spot and the ‘keeper is remaining optimistic.

"The three points against Brescia last week were vital and if we can stay on this road then we have a chance of finishing where it matters," said the international.

There have been visible signs of improvement for the side over the last few weeks and they’ll be hoping for another victory in Week 16.

But although they will be highly fancied to beat struggling Parma, Pelizzoli respects the Gialloblu.

"We need to win the game but we know that it won’t be very easy for us at all," added the former Atalanta player.

"They have just changed their Coach and all of the players in their squad will be keen to do well."
