Perhaps Sevilla had more dangerous moments in the first game, but the final score is equal - as you know, a better team has fewer chances to realize them. Why wouldn't the second game follow the same scenario? Still, Juventus is a stronger team than Sevilla if you take the whole season, which is normal for Juventus, but a failure for Sevilla. In any case, there are only a couple of days left and we will see how everything goes.

I don't have any hope about Juventus against Sevilla anymore, Juventus had a bad performance and they got bad results in Serie A, and even in the last game we saw from Juventus against Sevilla they couldn't score a goal against a team they didn't get good results in La Liga I think Juventus is going to show a bad performance against Sevilla in the second leg and they will lose the second leg.

Arsenal has very weak mentality to make it happen. This is the main problem that ha been facing by arsenal since a long time ago. Arsenal is incapability to make a proper finishing when it does have good star since the beginning until the mid of season.
That's the main reason why arsenel becomes trophyless once again. It has been four times arsenal always performed so well but it's ended with no trophy at the end of season which was making arsenal looked like a pathetic club.

There have been many people were not even stopping mocking arsenal at this moment. This club is full with BS. It looked like promising at the beginning of season but it will always end with trophyless.

Leverkusen certainly has prepared everything for this decisive match and they were also seen in the domestic league match last week by installing several second-tier players to rest some of their core players. Even though they didn't win in last week's match, it seems that Leverkusen are indeed more targeted to qualify for the European league finals and of course they are ready to make a comeback at home later.

I'm quite sure what Xabi Alonso is thinking and surely the strategy he has will be able to help Leverkusen beat Roma. I actually don't have any predictions, but maybe Leverkusen will win with a score of 2-1 and will go to extra time.

I understand that belief, I had the same one and I believed that United would be the winner for Europa and look where we are today, if not at least Barcelona would be if they won, those two teams were the strongest and they had unlucky matchup against each other but whoever ended up winning I believe would be the winner for the cup as well and now look at us, we are seeing them not even anywhere close to each other, that's a sad reality but the reality we need to focus on right now.

This means we are at the semi finals and at this level any team could win, there is nothing that we can do and we just have to accept the fact that the four teams here all have the chance to win the title and we just need to watch and see, there is no team that is favorites and will win.

Yes indeed, including me also considering the three teams will reach the final match to win the title this season. But in the end we are just stuck with their good results in the local league at that time, because at this moment their performance and results are also dropping and of course it will still be difficult for them to reach the final. Especially about Juventus, because at this moment it is still in the semi-final match.

But for now it looks like AS Roma and Sevilla are the teams that have the chance to qualify for the final. Therefore, predicting which team will win the title will be difficult, because they cannot be made strong candidates for the title either.

Since juventus was never losing against sevilla before and the hope is always there. Vlahovic needs to perform even better while juventus will not able to play with pogba. I kinda feel that if i could not understand what did you meant about the juventus will be facing real madrid in the final? It's caused by were talking about europa league here and the possible match for juventus to face as roma in the final caused by i do believe if as roma will able to beat leverkusen even though when roma will be playing away.
I think that if you were typo. The final in UCL will be happened with the different teams.

Juventus has been going out from champion league. it's not possible anymore to see juventus in champion league.
The result between madrid vs city has not been determined yet.

The match will be starting very soon.

I don't know what you are referring to when you say that Juventus Turin performed better. Do you mean in general or in comparison to Sevilla? Because Sevilla won four out of their last five games in La Liga whereas Juventus Turin only won three out of the last five games. This isn't really providing much insight into the situation that is relevant for the game between them in the Europa League.

Sevilla so far has not conceded a single goal in the home games during the knockout stage. I believe it will be very similar for this game against Juventus. I can't see how Juventus would score several goals or even two goals. One goal could be the decider in this game already.

The three teams you mentioned here were the strongest teams in the Europa League and to be honest, I was thinking Manchester United is going to win the Europa League title until a few weeks ago but after the games I saw from these teams, I think even Juventus doesn't have much chance in this season and they are going to lose against Sevilla in the second leg.

Juventus can maximize the opportunities to play better in the second leg later because they have to work harder if they want to advance to the final. Sevilla indeed in the second leg they were superior because they were playing at home but they actually had to play carefully because Juventus had a better performance lately which means that the second leg will run quite solidly from these two teams.

Pogba is absent, but his absence will not interfere with Juventus performance this season because Juventus still have Vlahovic who can be relied on to make the Sevilla defense difficult in the second leg. I hope Di Maria is in good shape in the second leg even a big contribution from him is expected to be made in the second leg in bringing Juventus to the final. I predict this season Europa League final will probably belong to two teams from Serie A.

I will never believe arsenal to win any trophy again. This club is as bad as totenham at this moment. Totenham and arsenal are always working so hard but those clubs never won trophy. Arsenal is still a garbage team when it came to compete in european cup at this moment.
It's different with another team like chelsea which was always getting good result in european cup. Chelsea is struggling this time with its performance but it may come back stronger next season.

Sevilla is even far better compared with arsenal. There are some clubs in EPL which were only become burden in european competition caused by these clubs never won any european trophy.
Totenham and arsenal. Sevilla has 6 european trophies which are a lot compared with arsenal.
Arsenal deserves it. A weak team.

This time it's different from what they will face when they can finally beat Feyenoord, because this time AS Roma will be the away team whereas when they beat Feyenoord it was done as a home team so the pressure will be very different this time, that's why Leverkusen are the favorites to win this match but the difference in odds is not that great so Rome's chances remain, and any outcome is possible including penalty shootouts

Bayern Leverkusen not only needs a win but also a goal margin of at least two so they will be advantaged in aggregate goals to Roma. We know that Xabi Alonso was like a pupil for Mourinho when both were at Real Madrid as a player and a coach, that's why during the first match the two coaches met very close and warm. Maybe Mourinho will be able to understand what strategy will be implemented by Alonso? so that Roma are able to anticipate the second match very well and also because they are already one goal ahead, a draw or defeat with a thin goal margin will still bring Roma to the European league final, or the opposite situation where students understand what strategy will be applied by the teacher.
Both coaches are quite smart coaches, but Mourinho is superior in experience and after last season was able to bring his team to the conference league championship, this season there is an opportunity to give a more prestigious title than last season's title, because this tournament will be Rome's only chance to get the title this season.

I think, there is a hope for Juventus to win this second leg because they were able to to draw the first leg 1-1 in the Roma home that made many people to believe that the second leg will not be a tough match, because Juventus are good in using home advantage to achieve victory. I don't think, Juventus can stop Roma not to score goal in this match because their strikers will definitely score goal in this match but Juventus will embrace the victory at the end of the match. Based on some tactics Juventus players displayed in this UEFA champions league tournament, showed that Juventus and Manchester city will be the strong teams to meet in final battle because Manchester city will defeat Real Madrid tomorrow with 2-1 to eliminate them from the tournament.

At least roma is leading in the aggregate. Mourinho can also try to analyze the previous match to determine the best strategy for the second leg. Xabi was using modern strategy which was focusing in the ball possessions.

The best strategy to counter this by implementing parking buss strategy to make its players become frustated and roma can make chance to do counter attack against leverkusen.
It seems like that roma is a bit superior this time compared with leverkusen. I prefer to pick roma.



Playing fully offensive against leverkusen away will be a very bad decision for as roma. Levekusen will be trying so hard to cretes so many attack against as roma. Mourinho must be thinking which the best strategy for roma. The only best choice to implement defensive - counter attack strategy.
Roma can wait for the leverkusen to have sloppy performance or blunder during the game. It will able to give roma ability to counter it.

I prefer to see roma to play fully defensive to win the game. Draw or win is good for roma but leverkusen must be winning by making more than 1 goals with clean sheet against roma.

Leverkusen must be able to fix whatever problems they are facing if Leverkusen want to continue to perform well in the second leg of the Europa League this season even though Leverkusen are already one goal behind on aggregate in the first leg. But Leverkusen still has the opportunity to make an aggregate that is more profitable for him, even though Leverkusen also knows that their opponent is a team that is not weak so that whatever they are facing before the second leg takes place, Leverkusen must really be able to fix it.

Agreed, the draw is really unacceptable result from juventus. Juventus was a big team but it played so badly against sevilla. I don't even know why any team that faces sevilla was getting many problems. Juventus must be careful in the second leg. Sevilla may able to lead the game caused by it will be playing in sevilla's home. The small chance for juventus to win the game against sevilla. Sevilla was always getting good result when it was playing at home. I think that it's the time for juventus to use fully defensive strategy against sevilla.
I will prefer to see juventus to use counter attack against sevilla. it will be very useful as sevilla is always trying to dominate the ball possession which has become a new trend in the modern football.
Juventus must only kill the movements from its strikers. Sevilla may be using offensive stretegy against juventus to avoid penalty caused by juventus has a very good keeper right now.

Leverkusen have to be very careful while playing Roma in the second leg.
Like you said, Roma will be kind of defensive and Leverkusen will attack a lot. Mourinho is used to that pattern of football.
He can defend all night and make used of the little chances he gets. Roma have players to play that kind of football too. So while Leverkusen is attacking and looking for a way to cancel the deficit goal they have, they should also be careful of how Roma can hurt them.
Its going to be a very interesting match because these are two exciting teams that are very focused on the Europa league.

I believe that at this stage of the competition there is not much value in referring to what the teams did or are doing in their respective national competitions. What does it help Juventus when Sevilla has been performing poorly so far in La Liga? You can make some guesses whether a loss in the last game could have some influence on the next game, which happens to be in the Europa League, but does it really help anything? I don't think so and neither Juventus nor Sevilla will really look at what the teams are doing in the league. They know that the have to play their best possible game or otherwise they are likely doomed to fail. Their approach should be to play as if this game was a final already and thinking about it, it essentially is a final. A final to the final so to say.

These are the odds for the rematch of the Roma v Leverkusen matchup by the way. There is quite a decent gap between the odds of these teams for the win now. Leverkusen are of course favoured for the win home but truthfully I would have expected much closer odds here. Because we have all watched how tight the first leg was.

I think we are likely to watch another tight competition in the rematch. Especially if Mourinho's system in defense works decently this can cause big problems for Leverkusen to have an advantage. In my humble opinion, Leverkusen will still carry this matchup to extra time at least and we might even find out about the winner by penalty shoot-outs.

It depends on Roma's extra time effort of course after seeing their great job against Feyenoord before.  

Leverkusen's current problem is still in their performance condition. It's a pity that in the previous few weeks they were quite good, but for now they are a little stuck.
Actually, I still believe in Leverkusen in the second leg, but for that to happen, Xabi needs to improve the mentality of the players so that they are more motivated to be in the final later.
