Okafor hoping to replicate Olimpico glory and lead Milan against Lazio

Striker hoping to make mark in big game

Cyriel Dessers is aiming to replicate the heroics of his time with Feyenoord when Feyenoord overcame Roma in the semi-finals of the inaugural Europa Conference League last season. The forward is expected to lead the line for Cremonese at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night as they aim to cause an upset against Jose Mourinho's Roma side.

Dessers was in inspired form for Feyenoord last season, scoring 10 goals in the Europa Conference League, including a stunning brace against Roma in the semi-finals. The Nigerian forward also netted the winning goal in the final as Feyenoord beat Marseille 1-0 to lift the trophy.

Can Dessers help Cremonese pull off a shock?

Cremonese are currently bottom of Serie A, but they will be hoping to take inspiration from Dessers' heroics last season. The Italian side have only won one of their first 11 league games this season, but they will be confident of causing an upset against Roma, who have been in poor form in recent weeks.

Roma have only won two of their last seven games in all competitions, and they will be without several key players for the match against Cremonese. Dessers will be hoping to take advantage of Roma's defensive frailties and fire Cremonese to a famous victory.
