REF’s picks

Backing Chelsea on the -2.75 handicap is supported by their historical dominance and Roma's struggles against top European teams.

1. 1Chelsea are fully capable of winning by a three or four-goal margin at home.
2. 2The previous 6-0 win illustrates the massive gulf in quality between the two clubs.
3. 3Roma could manage to keep the scoreline respectable if they adopt a very deep defensive block.
