Sevilla vs. AS Roma Predictions

• Where: Puskas Arena, Budapest, Hungary
• When: Wednesday, May 31, 9 pm CET

The battle between Sevilla and Roma will give us the answer about the new Europa League champion. The Spanish team has had six titles since this competition was established and is the most successful team in the history of the same. On the other side is one of the greatest managers ever, Jose Mourinho, who won it before and wants to lead Roma to success. The team from the Italian capital won the UEFA Conference League last season and now looks for another success that would probably make him the club’s icon.

Sevilla vs. AS Roma Preview

Sevilla 

Rojoblancos saw a huge improvement after Jose Luis Mendilibar’s arrival. He was the one who completely changed the philosophy of this unit, making them more oriented towards offense instead of being focused on defensive matters. Though, plenty of bad luck and other situations prevented Sevilla from reaching its potential in the first half of the year.

Until the previous weekend, Sevilla had only one defeat in 14 events, though they did post five draws during that span. But eliminating Juventus and Manchester United from the UEFA Europa League boosted the morale of the unit incredibly.

They often score and allow goals, and the previous four UEL games ended like that. The offense has been solid, and Rojoblancos netted at least twice in 9 of the past 13 games. 

AS Roma

Il Lupi encountered plenty of injuries in the previous four weeks, with all of the top players having certain issues with their health. Dybala, Belotti, Wijnaldum, Llorente, etc, all of them had some minor or major injuries. 

That will be a problem for Mourinho, but also, this might be a plus for the Portuguese manager, who will use this to put pressure on Sevilla and take the same off of his players. There isn’t a better guy for mental games before big games than the Special One. 

Roma is an adaptable and fluid team whose performances are inconsistent mostly due to issues with absent players. However, whenever Il Lupi found itself in a must-do situation, it would reach up to the occasion and get the job done.

Sevilla vs. AS Roma Prediction

Mourihno will impose a slow pace of the game, trying to keep the ball and protect his goal first and only attack after that. On the other side, Sevilla won’t be eager to attack too much as well because of the stake. So under 2.5 goals seem like the perfect choice.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
