18^thMay 2023 – 21:00, Bay Arena, Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen will take on Roma in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday evening. The hosts are one goal behind after the first leg, while the away side looks forward to keeping its advantage intact.

Bayer Leverkusen Preview & Team News

Bayer Leverkusen heads into this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 Bundesliga stalemate against Stuttgart. In that match, Bayer Leverkusen managed 48% possession and 12 shots at goal, with 2 of them on target. The home side is still in the race for a continental ticket in the German top flight, but they failed to win four times in a row in all competitions. Last Thursday, Leverkusen suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in Rome, and they need to break this winless streak if they want to book a ticket for the finals. The Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this game owing to a fully injury-free squad available to select from.

Roma Preview & Team News

In the previous game, Roma drew 0-0 in the Serie A match with Bologna. In that game, Roma had just 28% possession and seven attempts on goal with two on target. It was their fifth straight winless game in the Italian top flight, and Roma is now far from the Champions League ticket through Serie A. Nevertheless, the Giallorossi are in an excellent position to book their second straight continental final. They just need to stay firm in this outing and defend their 1-0 lead from the first-leg match. However, Mourinho’s defense is further weakened by the absence of Zeki Celik, Diego Llorente, Rick Karsdorp, and Marash Kumbulla. Fortunately for Roma, Stephan El Shaaraway is expected to make the bench.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

It is going to be a close game since neither team has been too confident lately. We think Jose Mourinho will set up a strong block, and Roma could hold their rivals to a draw. Therefore, Roma should be the first Europa League finalist.

Goals Market Prediction

Just two of Bayer’s matches from the previous eight went over a 2.5 margin, while Roma’s last five clashes didn’t produce more than two goals. That’s why we believe this trend will be continued after this match, especially since Roma has an aggregate advantage.
