Scolari is so confident of progressing he has already told club officials to book out Rome's Cavalieri Hilton in time for the final next May.
Chelsea were given 3600 tickets for tonight's game, but it is understood that only 1500 have been sold. Roma's fans have clashed with Manchester United and Middlesbrough supporters in recent years and it may have had an affect on Chelsea's following.
Scolari is hoping the match will still take place without any incidents off the field and said: "It is only a game not a war. I don't think there is any problems because people in Rome are civilised.
"I think when they came over to London recently they were received very well.
"It is a game of football. It is a normal situation."
