🧠 Prediction

We feel that Roma should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

However, Braga will be up against it to break down their defence but we do fancy them converting at least once here, too.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for Roma when all’s said and done.
