Analyst write-up
A home tie Roma can compete in, but Real Madrid are the clear favourite. Roma score freely at the Olimpico, yet Real's away defence has been miserly and their front line carries the bigger threat, so expect Real to edge it while Roma find the net. Lineups are not yet confirmed and injuries are unknown, so team news could shift this. A 1-2, a drawn 1-1, or a clean Real 0-2 are all live.
Main risk: If Roma sit deep and defend the box, Real can be held to one goal and the game dies into a low-scoring draw or 1-0 either way; conversely Real's front line could overrun an unsettled Roma back three and win by two-plus, so the single-scoreline call is fragile around the margin.
Unknowns: Injuries and suspensions are not in the feed, so squad availability for both sides is unknown; confirmed XIs are not yet published (they land ~1h before kickoff) and the lineups shown are each side's last actual XI, so selection could shift. No recent head-to-head sample.
