Jose Mourinho "The Special One" became the only coach to win three different European trophies last year when he added the Europa Conference League to his UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles. He's on a mission to win the Europa League again with AS Roma and his tie against Real Sociedad began in a very successful note in the first leg. AS Roma needs minimal effort to reach the quarter-finals and my recommended betting pick in this game is an away win or draw. Here's why you should bet on a Roma win or draw;

REASON

Last week's game was an eye opener to the difference between these two teams. After the draw there was speculation that Real Sociedad could be a good competition to AS Roma but that is far from the truth. The Spanish side are not even in AS Roma's level let alone being a better team. Roma coasted to an easy lead in the first leg as they frustrated Real Sociedad who barely created any meaningful chances. Jose Mourinho is a master at sacrificing possession for a better result and it worked for him in the first leg. I expect him to employ similar tactics which should be easier for the team as they are under no pressure to seek a win. This tie is practically over and Real Sociedad could even taste defeat once again but I'm going for an away win or draw for Jose Mourinho's side.

Apart from being the inferior team, Real Sociedad has endured a nightmare start to the year. Few months ago, they were in contention for a top three finish in the Spanish La Liga but right now even a top four finish is far from guaranteed for the hosts who have not won a single game in five tries. The goals have dried up for Real Sociedad and they have scored just two goals in their last five matches. Even if Real Sociedad manages to score one goal here, which is the best they can offer, AS Roma can match that or even outscore them. I don't see any way the hosts end up winning this tie, so I'm going with an away win or draw.

去年，“特殊的穆里尼奥”在欧冠和欧联杯之后又赢得了欧联杯冠军，成为唯一一位赢得三次不同欧洲奖杯的教练。他的任务是带领罗马再次赢得欧联杯，他与皇家社会的比赛在首回合就非常成功。罗马队只需付出最小的努力就能进入四分之一决赛，

上周的比赛让人看到了这两支球队之间的差异。平局之后，有人猜测皇家社会可能是罗马的有力竞争对手，但事实并非如此。西班牙队甚至都达不到罗马的水平，更不用说成为一支更好的球队了。罗马在首回合比赛中轻松领先，皇家社会几乎没有创造任何有意义的机会。穆里尼奥是一个牺牲控球权来获得更好结果的大师，这在他首回合的比赛中奏效了。我希望他能采用类似的战术，这对球队来说更容易，因为他们没有压力去寻求胜利。这场比赛实际上已经结束了，皇家社会甚至可能再次尝到失败的滋味，但我相信何塞·穆里尼奥的球队会在客场获胜或打平。

除了是一支实力较弱的球队，皇家社会还经历了一个噩梦般的开局。几个月前，他们还在争夺西甲联赛的前三名，但现在，即使是前四也很难保证，因为这支东道主在五次尝试中没有赢过一场比赛。皇家社会的进球越来越少，他们在最近的五场比赛中只进了两球。即使皇家社会在这里打进一球，这是他们所能提供的最好的，罗马也可以赶上甚至超过他们。我不认为东道主最终会赢得这场比赛，所以我认为客场会赢或打平。
