Roma Preview – Will the Italians get their hands on the trophy?
Roma had a steady season in Serie A, nicking sixth place on the final day. The club from the Italian capital picked up a 3-0 win at Torino last Friday, with England international Tammy Abraham continuing his fine form with a brace in Turin.
Roma’s form has been mediocre of late, as they have won just two of their last eight in all competitions. However, one of those wins did put them into the Europa Conference League final. Abraham netted the only goal to give Giallorossi a 1-0 success over Premier League Leicester City at the Stadio Olimpico earlier in the month.
Jose Mourinho’s troops are the favourites to win this final, with the bookies offering 27/20 for a Roma victory. Will they become the first ever Europa Conference League winners?
Feyenoord Preview – Can Slot’s side cause an upset in Albania?
Arne Slot’s Feyenoord have defied the odds by reaching the last two of this competition. They certainly deserve their final spot, though, as the Dutch side won their group before seeing off Partizan Belgrade and Slavia Prague in the knockouts.
They were the underdogs against French giants Marseille in the semi-finals, but a 3-2 home win in leg one sent them on their way. A goalless draw at the Stade Velodrome completed the job.

Roma vs Feyenoord Betting Advice
These two clubs met in the Round of 32 stage of the UEFA Europa League in the 2014-15 season. The pair played out a 1-1 draw in Rome, with Colin Kazim-Richards’ goal cancelling out Gervinho’s effort. In the second leg in Rotterdam, Adem Ljajic and Gervinho were on target in a 2-1 Roma victory.

On paper, there is not an awful lot to split these two. However, with Mourinho in the dugout, Roma have one of the world’s most experienced managers, and we fancy the Portuguese to guide his side to victory on Wednesday. Take a punt on Roma to win by one goal in Tirana at 3/1.
Tammy Abraham has had an exceptional season, and the England ace heads to the Albanian capital having netted three goals in his last four outings, including the winner against Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes in the semis. Abraham is available at 4/1 to score the first goal of the final.
