Leicester are 90 minutes away from the inaugural Europa Conference League final but face a tough test in the shape of Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Italy.

The Foxes have enjoyed a steady trickle of silver flowing into the King Power Stadium over the last few years. Their stunning 2015/16 Premier League title has been followed up by the FA Cup and Community Shield.

It’s hard to imagine Leicester were particularly enthused about the idea of entering the Europa Conference League, the third tier of European football, but now they are approaching the final hurdles, they will be determined to go all the way.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have been way off the pace in 2021/22. They sit 11th in the Premier League table with little chance of qualifying for any European competitions. Victory in the Europa Conference League would earn them Europa League football next term.

Standing in their way, Jose Mourinho and his Roma team who face a similar issue. They are not certain to qualify for the Europa League next term so victory here could offer an alternative route.

Our prediction: Roma v Leicester

Neither side is a predictable one. Roma have veered up and down all season, while Leicester have simply failed to ignite on a consistent basis in 2021/22.

The difference between the sides? Roma boast a prolific, reliable goalscorer in the shape of Tammy Abraham. In contrast, Leicester’s talisman Jamie Vardy appears to be in decline, while Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have failed to deliver a stream of returns.

A match-winner like Abraham is likely to swing this one. Leicester do boast the likes of James Maddison and Youri Tielemans but they will be up against it in Rome.

Our prediction: Roma 2-1 Leicester (8/1 at Bet365)
