Prediction: Roma 2-0 Zorya
We expect an easy win for Roma in this one due to their good striking options.
Zorya have their strengths as well but against a good and quality Roma side, we do not see them getting much out.
Jose’s men can up the ante with the players in their ranks and we see them doing so.
Players to watch out for: Shomurodov, Abraham, Gromov and Kabaev.
