We said: Roma 1-0 Real Sociedad

Roma have won only two of their last 15 competitive games against Spanish sides - losing 10 times in the process - but Jose Mourinho has changed the culture of the club. The veteran coach has claimed victory in 14 of his 16 Europa League home matches and knows how to get the job done - with La Real's recent lack of goals also helping his cause. Read more.
