Analysts give a slight advantage to the Italian club
On May 31, in the final match of the Europa League, Sevilla will play with Roma. According to bookmaker analysts, the Italian club has a slight advantage, but there is no clear favorite in the match.
Roma’s chances to win are estimated as 1×2.85. Odds of winning Sevilla – 1×3.05. The chances that the main time of the match will end in a draw are 1×2.95.
There is nothing surprising in such forecasts. Not only will teams of really equal strength meet in the final, but they are not in the best shape for the decisive match. Roma have won one in their last nine matches, while Sevilla have won one in six. Not surprisingly, Roma and Sevilla failed in the championships, so winning the Europa League is the last and only chance to be in the Champions League next season.
It was from this tournament that Sevilla ended up in the Europa League this season – the Spaniards took third place in the Champions League group, skipping ahead of Manchester City and Borussia D, ahead of Copenhagen. In the playoffs of the tournament, Sevilla knocked out PSV, Fenerbahce, Manchester United and Juventus.
Roma started in the Europa League group, taking second place in their quartet behind Betis, and ahead of Ludogorets and HJK. In the playoffs, the Italians coped with Salzburg, Real Sociedad, Feyenoord and Bayer.
Interestingly, despite the status and frequent appearances in European competitions, Sevilla and Roma met each other only once in an official match. And in August 2020, Sevilla beat Roma in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League of the covid season (2: 0), making it to the quarter-finals and eventually winning the trophy.
The teams are approaching the second in history and much more important match with personnel losses. Sevilla will not play the suspended Acuña, as well as the injured Geye, Corona and Nyanzu. Roma is definitely out of the game Karsdorp and Kumbula. Dybala’s participation in the match is questionable.
In the current European Cup season, Roma have left the field in only three matches without scoring a goal. Sevilla had four clean sheets. At the same time, the probability that “both teams will score in the Europa League final” bookmakers estimate as 1×2.32. And it’s pretty interesting. And the chances of “total over 2.5” as 2.76. Let’s see how right they are.
