Prediction: Roma 2-1 Feyenoord
We expect this to be an intense clash with both sides going at each other.
However, we see Roma getting their hands on the title as they have more attacking quality in their ranks and the experience of Jose Mourinho by their side.
The Portuguese is able to win Finals and that’s a key skill which they take into this clash.
Feyenoord should push Roma down to the wire but the latter should win.
