The first-ever final of the Europa Conference League is upon us, with the two sides facing off being Roma and Feyenoord. Here’s everything you need to know regarding the fixture.
The new competition has been a great success. We’ve been treated to some fantastic games throughout the tournament, featuring sides that have rarely tasted European football before. Now we’re at the end and only one will emerge victorious out of Jose Mourinho’s Roma side and Dutch powerhouses Feyenoord.
Leicester in the semis to advance, whereas Feyenoord conquered Marseille – but who will win the illustrious title of the first-ever Europa Conference League champions?
Roma against Feyenoord will take place on Wednesday 25th May 2022 at the Arena Kombëtare in Tirana, Albania. The match will start at 8:00 PM UK time.
Football fans in England will be over the moon to hear that Europa Conference League Final will be televised live on BT Sport 1, and BT Sport Ultimate and will also be available on BTSport.com.

A few in the Roma camp are touch and go as to whether they’ll feature in the Europa Conference League Final. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Chris Smalling and Nicolo Zaniolo are all doubtful – which may give Jose Mourinho a few issues.
Feyenoord were dealt a huge blow at the beginning of May when star left-back Tyrell Malacia was ruled out with a hamstring injury until June. He joins Justin Bijlow on the sidelines.
Neither side have any suspensions they need to worry about.
Roma Predicted XI: Patricio; Mancini, Vina, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Cristante, Oliveira, Zalewski; Pellegrini, Shaarawy; Abraham
The only time these two sides have met was in 2015 – when they faced off in the knockout stages of the Europa League, with Roma getting the better of the Dutch side over the course of two legs.
26th February 2015: Feyenoord 1 – 2 Roma
19th February 2015: Roma 1 – 1 Feyenoord
Here are the odds that are being offered by various bookmakers:
Roma: 13/10
Draw: 12/5
Jose Mourinho will be looking to be the first manager ever to win all three of these major European honours and we think he’ll succeed. Roma are the bookie’s favourite and have a significantly better side on paper. We think they’ll run out 2-1 winners.
