Has opportunities for Jose Mourinho make another record with AS Roma on second season become the manager, was success bring Roma winning Conference League last season and has chance with Europe League trophies for this season. I expected with Roma will qualify to Europe League final stage by winning first leg match make its easy on second leg.
AS Roma has difference performance in Europe League than domestic league, with mentality winning Jose Mourinho success made comeback when loss on first leg from Feyenoord but success comeback on second leg. Current bad performance in domestic league and not has chance with UCL spot, I think Roma will motivate for winning Europe League tittle and participant in Champion League next season.

Xabi alonso has proven itself in bundesliga but he has not yet achieved any trophy. it's his first time to be a coach. It's a common thing if he will be losing against roma as he was just starting but his first season is actually incredible as a new coach.
Leverkusen was able changing a lot under him. Xabi is having magic to change a club to be even better than before. The match against mourinho can also become a good match to prove him in front of his teacher.

I meant is as roma is the main rival for leverkusen. The fate of leverkusen will be determined from the result of second leg.

Roma will be playing without some important players. Xabi could take it as advantage but the result will be determined by the club itself. I didn't wanna put big expectation from him in his first season became a coach for leverkusen.
Being able to make the club leave from the relegation zone is good enough.

Both teams are powerful and in good positions this season, thus the game will be very challenging. However, based on the team's performance, I think juventus to be better than sevilla. Although I am convinced that juventus will take the game more seriously because Sevilla is playing at home, which will give Sevilla the conviction that they can overcome juventus, Sevilla is a powerful squad that can play well.
It's challenging for me to anticipate the result of this game given how excellent both of these teams are and how difficult it will be for Sevilla to shock Juventus.

Sevilla drew 2-2 in the first-leg away match against Manchester United. But Sevilla's players showed great dominance in the home match. And Sevilla won the home match 3-0. Sevilla drew 1-1 in the first leg against Juventus. And this team is in very good form right now. Hopefully, we will see Sevilla's dominance today.

Sevilla is strong enough in home matches. And since the start of this season, Sevilla has aimed to do well in the Europa League. And they have been able to maintain consistency. I consider Sevilla as the favourite in today's match. However, the opponent Juventus team is very strong. Sevilla's defenders must play well. If the defense is strong I believe it will be easy for Sevilla to beat Juventus.

Well, if Juventus play like in the first leg, don't expect that we will witness quite an interesting match. but if Allegri changes his system, or has another strategy. Juventus' chance to win this match is wide open. Unfortunately, I don't really understand what Allegri wants from the system he implements. so, it is only natural that many doubt about choosing to bet on Juventus. plus, several Juventus players are certain to be absent due to injuries.

On the other hand, Sevilla benefited from playing at their own base. very reasonable, if many choose to bet on Sevilla. but in terms of gameplay, system and technique, I don't see them playing well and nicely. IMO, the only thing that has brought them this far is spirit and mentality. Sevilla have it, they play with high spirits and work hard to achieve the expected results. well, my question is different from yours. What matters to me is whether the two teams will play carefully in this match. also, whether the two teams will both score goals. if yes, the option is quite ideal with odds @1.94. or, bet on Over 2.25 goals at odds @1.95. but with the condition that there must be 3 goals if only 2 goals, it means we lose half the money at the bet.
another option is the handicap option, Juventus has 0.25 with odds @2.55. that means, if the game ends in extra time the one who chooses the Juventus option will win half of the bet.

Well, to be honest, I still predict that Juventus will win this match and pass to the next phase. now the problem is whether this match will end in normal time, I really don't know.  but for sure, I will bet on choosing Juventus with the handicap option.

Sevilla vs Juventus = 0,25 Juventus

I somehow agree about the possibility of Sevilla winning the second leg and qualifying for the final. Sevilla are confident they can beat Juventus at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán even if they don't underestimate Massimiliano Allegri's side.

I still remember very well how Sevilla crushed Manchester United in the second leg of the quarter-finals with a score of 3-0 which then led them to the semifinals against Juventus. Sevilla must be able to repeat all that well even though Juventus have a mission to reach the final. Juventus are strong in defense and attack, so Sevilla have to watch that well.

Yes, at least a draw is still a good result for Bayer Leverkusen because it is to maintain its good name when Bayer Leverkusen plays at home. But at least, the 1-0 aggregate is not a big aggregate, and Bayer Leverkusen could have the luck to turn things around.

But yes, if I consider Mourinho who has a good defensive strategy, then maybe AS Roma will only maintain their aggregate victory in this match. If that happens, then it will be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to break through AS Roma's defense in the second leg of this match.

Even though Roma is playing an away game tonight, I believe that drawing should be a simple task for them because I am aware that Mourinho is more well-known for his defensive style. Bayern Leverkusen is a good club, and they may now be performing at a level comparable to Roma's, but I can't truly say they will defeat Roma because Mourinho might not be focused on winning but more on securing a draw to advance to the championship game.


I agree with you that Sevilla has a stronger chance of winning today's game against Juventus because it is sevilla home game,and after examining their home record in the Europa League this season, it may be obvious to me that they possess a winning home mentality. Sevilla is in excellent condition right now, as evidenced by the first leg result against Juventus last week, which finished in a draw.Let's wait and see what transpires, though, as Juventus has a solid record in their several encounters. At this point, may be juventus will able to prove that. .

the match will be very fierce but I think that Seville @ 2.36 is worth it to take.
odds @2.36 I think it's very tempting and I don't hesitate to choose to bet on Seville win.

I see Sevilla having a pretty good performance when playing at their own home and also if you look at the performance of the two teams during Seville's first leg it was quite good, especially now that they are playing in front of their own supporters, I am very sure they will win.

No. The Europa League final will not happen for the Serie A team. One of them will be eliminated from the Europa League and for some reason it just occurred to me that Juventus are the team that will be eliminated during the 2nd leg at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
The result of leg 1 at the Allianz Arena seems to be what makes me feel that the Bianconerri will fail to advance to the final round even though you mentioned Juventus having consistent performance.
Juventus controlled the game with ball possession statistics, but they were left behind until the match was almost over, they were only able to reply through Federico Gatti's goal.

AS Roma will also be able to fail because Bayern Leverkusen have a good record when playing at home. Aggregate 1-0 is not so difficult and can still have a chance to reply. Bayern Leverkusen are also good at home goals.

Choosing a defensive strategy will fail AS Roma. We will see how the greatness of Mourinho's defensive strategy works. Xabi Alonso, who was once a player under Mourinho, had already implemented Mourinho's defensive strategy and Alonso benefited from this.
Alonso will want Bayern Leverkusen to attack from the start or he will rely on quick counter-attacks if Mourinho commits to AS Roma's defensive plan.

The current odds for both teams today

Sevilla @2.36
Draw @2.90
Juventus @3.20

Sevilla a bit favourite in this match probably because of host factor but just like i said before Sevilla were performing well in the first leg and they even almost win the match before Juventus player can scored goal in the second half of extra time so this proven Sevilla even can able to make Juventus get in trouble and the last time Juventus won this competition was in 1993 at that time called UEFA Cup and it would be a great achievement for Allegri if he can bringing Juventus advances to the final match

And this actually very interesting match because both teams had different records that Sevilla strong at home and Juventus during knockout stage had impressive records at their opponents home ground but Sevilla at this competition seems had different level because they were very strong and in my opinion this match will not ended with draw but i think Sevilla can able to beat Juventus

Right now experience and strategy both are favoring AS Roma because we all know he is experienced person and can change the tables into his favor specially while he is having match in UEFA and for the spot of final with Xabi Alonso is relatively new to this field but still both are doing amazing stuff with Bayer Leverkusen was in relegation zone but after having management in Alonso hands they are currently at sixth spot of Bundesliga league table which is amazing stuff and AS Roma which was surely looking for the better end of this season right now having sixth spot and chances they will be failed to achieve top four spots so now just Europa Cup is an only way for them with this is anybody game again with AS Roma is leading just because of advantage which they have due to win at home in first leg match.

for Sevilla vs Juventus, Sevilla is indeed superior to Sevilla because this match will be at home to Sevilla which gives more confidence and belief to win and of course from Sevilla fans who will give enthusiasm to qualify for the final round. and on the other hand Juventus are not too consistent with the performance of their players even though they have given all the best strategies but it seems like it will be in vain.

and as for Leverkusen vs Roma for me there is no doubt that Leverkusen have the upper hand in this game because just like Sevilla benefit from a confident home. don't hesitate about the aggregate that Rome already has, only 1 score, and it's easy enough to beat Roma score.

The second leg of the European League semi-final between Sevilla and Juventus will be a very tense battle because the two teams still have a balanced aggregate. However, as the host, Sevilla will certainly be very favored to win and at the same time qualify for the final round. However, I think Juventus will not sit idly by seeing that Sevilla can be free at home and that Allegri's squad will still be eager to win away from home.

Considering that the two teams are equally strong, I think the game will return to a draw for 90 minutes and will then proceed to the extra time round until the penalty shoot-out to determine the winner who will advance to the European league final. Even so, I still have a question, can Sevilla excel and win the game in normal time while also destroying Juventus' hopes? we should wait for one of these very exciting matches.

Seville vs Juventus.
This is the 2nd leg match with an aggregate 1 - 1 and in this 2nd leg match took place at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium which is owned by Sevilla.
From this home game Sevilla will be more profitable and of course they can play well.
It looks like Sevilla will get an easy win in this 2nd leg.


For Leverkusen vs Roma I have a little doubt because even though Leverkusen are playing at home but on aggregate Roma are superior with an aggregate of 0 - 1 so to be able to predict who will win is a little difficult.
It is possible that this match will end in a draw but the inclination to win is still on Leverkusen.
What is clear is that this is a match that gives a little doubt if you want to bet it.

If I refer to the predicted line-up for AS Roma, Jose Mourinho will use the 3-5-2 pattern. This strategy is quite effective, both in defense and counterattack. it could also, aim to dominate the midfield. In essence, Mourinho did not intend to lose this fight. winning with an aggregate of one goal, made them take the initiative to play more carefully. by the way, Dybala's status is doubtful. 

Instead, Xabi Alonso will apply the 3-4-3 pattern. this system is different from what he implemented in the first leg with 3-4-2-1, it seems that Xabi will instruct his players to go all out in this match to win. the question is whether this fight will be very monotonous. or, Leverkusen will play with high game intensity. so, I doubt if both teams will score in this match. most likely the fight will end with a thin score. in fact, potentially there would be no goals. it's just that, I assume that Leverkusen will at least score 1 goal so the game will continue in extra time. but by the way, this is just my scenario and prediction. the rest, we leave it to the two teams that will fight tonight. there was no choice, but to bet on Leverkusen at 2.02 odds.

Leverkusen vs Roma

It makes sense when AS Roma will play a defensive strategy in order to maintain their advantage that was obtained during the first leg. But with a defensive strategy it seems that it will be quite risky for them, because if they do just one defeat they will be punished by Leverkusen. Jose Mourinho should come down with a ball possession strategy and not allow Leverkusen to develop their game.

Even if the first match ended with a draw result, Mourinho will still let Roma play defensively. It is his most favorite tactic in his coach career with many clubs, not only with Roma. With one goal advantage from the first match, Mourinho has more reasons to do so.

I am very curious on how Xabi Alonso will do for Leverkusen to flip the disadvantage from the first match and help Leverkusen win in a second semi final. Mourinho and Roma won't let Leverkusen to use their speed too much in the match. They will try to close as most spaces as possible on field and block dangerous situations as most farthest as their box as possible.

Juventus will not have Pogba in the match and they will have to rely on some young players. Their squad is still affected by injuries and they won't have their best players in Seville.

At home, Sevilla will be stronger with support from their fans and with belief that they just won big against Manchester United there weeks ago. Juventus must play the match with as cold mind as possible. If they let their mind burns by Sevilla fans, they will lose the match easily.

Allegri should have learned from the first leg. Sevilla was not trying to dominate the ball possession caused by it knew that if the club was playing away. Juventus shall have used the same strategy as sevilla. Ball possession doesn't matter a lot now. What things that matter a lot must be how effective the counter attack that being made by the juventus. Juventus must focus to increase its accuracy. We could see that how juventus was only able making two shots on target while sevilla has five shots in total.
that's very bad stat for juventus caused by it was playing at home. Sevilla gonna be crazy when it will be playing at its home.

Juventus needs to be careful with attacking lines of sevilla. Allegri shall have picked the right strategy to prevent it. The first leg was showing how inaffective strategy that used by allegri.

The second leg must be different from the first leg. Juventus shall not be missing this golden opportunity.

Playing defensively is actually what Mourinho is planning to do against Leverkusen because they know having one goal advantage is a lot against a team like Leverkusen and they should just control the game and focus on using the chance they get from the counter-attacks because Leverkusen is going to attacking in the second leg and try having a comeback.
