Roma vs Waalwijk Prediction

Roma's preparations during the World Cup break hardly went to plan, with the capital side failing to impress. Jose Mourinho would not have been pleased with that, as his side also struggled before the break.

Nevertheless, the Serie A club are still heavily favoured to win the game, as they have significantly superior quality than Waalwijk.

🐔 Happy birthday Andrea Belotti! 🥳
