Finals are always incredibly difficult to predict, especially in such even games like this. Sevilla head into this clash as favourites, and have shown time and time again that this is their competition. Based on this, our prediction is 3-1 to Sevilla.

Sevilla and Roma have met on four separate occasions. The Spanish side have the upper hand historically over the Italians, with two wins compared to Roma's one. The other match ended all even and the most recent encounter between the two sides ended in Sevilla's favour.

Our choice for Roma's key player is the Argentinian magician Paulo Dybala. Dybala brings creativity and flair to Mourinho's Roma side, and has been a remarkable player for years. When Dybala is at his best he is almost unplayable!

 

The key player we have chosen for Sevilla is Youssef En-Nesyri. The Moroccan forward has shown up in the big moments so far in this Europa League campaign. If he is on his best form, his side will be tough to beat.

The probable lineup for the Italian side is as follows: Patricio; Ibanez, Smalling, Mancini; Spinazzola, Matic, Cristante, Celik; Pellegrini, Dybala; Abraham

The probable lineup for the Spanish side is as follows: Bounou; Telles, Gudelj, Badé, Navas; Rakitic, Fernando; Gil, Torres, Ocampos; En-Nesyri 

The referee for Sevilla vs Roma will be Anthony Taylor. His assistants for the match will be Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping to lead his side to their second European title win in two seasons, following their Europa Conference League victory last season.

Despite having a below-par domestic season, Sevilla will be eager to win their 7th Europa League title in this match.

The Roma vs Sevilla match will be played at the Puskás Arena, in Budapest, with a capacity of 67,215 people. This iconic stadium, named after the legendary Hungarian forward Ferenc Puskás, has hosted countless memorable matches in the past and we expect no different from this one!
