Player to watch – Artem Dovbyk (AS Roma)
Come on – it had to be AS Roma’s formidable forward as the man in the spotlight for this clash. Dovbyk is a striker the Italian squad can rely on, and he confirmed that he is cool under pressure when sinking his penalty against Dynamo Kyiv last time out.
Because of this, we believe Dovbyk could also grab a goal or two for AS Roma here.
