Sevilla have it going for them in the Europa with the one goal lead against Juventus. Having played a very difficult opponent before Juventus, which is manchester United they know and understand the difficulty level that they need to pass if they are to win the competition. The one goal they have against Juventus is not so safe but it puts them a step closer to the finals.

Roma  is another team that look determined to get to the finals. The finals may be between Roma and Sevilla.

Sevilla dominated the game and was playing as if they are the host. A superb goal from the Moroccan Nesyri to put his team on the lead of the game. Sevilla is playing this game with confidence and it doesn't seem to be the same Sevilla in their domestic league.

Juve has to try their best to equalise the goal because they had good opportunities in the first 20 mins but they couldn't convert it into a goal. Vlahovic messed so many chances that he has and the coach needs to substitute him in the second half.  Sevilla is said to be the king of this league and I believe it because I never expected this wonderful performance from Sevilla in the first half.

Halftime and Sevilla still leads the match and is currently much better then Juventus. I expected Juventus to win this match easily but if they get a draw out of this it would be big with how bad they are playing. Sevilla somehow whenever they play Europe League play on a superb level

Sevilla has taken a 0-1 lead in the away match at Juventus. I wouldn't have thought that myself. Sevilla is not performing well in the league, but in the EL it is a different story. You could compare the team to Real Madrid in that respect. There is still a lot to play for, but the 0-1 lead looks set to be a 50-50 game meaning Juventus now have as much chance of winning the game as Sevilla. It will be a sensation if Sevilla wins this match in Turin against the star team of Juventus, which is also not in a very good period.

Juventus can win the tournament again for once in a long time. But AS Roma is also the favorite on the other side of the schedule. I still think we're going to get Juventus - AS Roma in the final, wouldn't be fun for the general spectator but of course a golden day for the Italians. Italian football dominates enormously in this phase of the tournament, which has sometimes been different with mainly English or Spanish teams. We also have a finalist from Italy in the CL, and I think even 2 in the EL. But Sevilla is a very crafty team, which should not be underestimated by Juventus. And have also won the EL several times in recent years.

The atmosphere in the stadium is incredible, it will definitely be a huge spectator advantage for Juventus. They may be Italy's most ardent supporters. But against them is Sevilla, the usual natural favourite for this trophy. I also think that the first match can be very decisive. Juventus must win, a draw is not enough for them. I expect both teams to start the game with control. The odds of the game under 2.5 goals are quite low. Football at this level is not the place to look for surprises.

The game between Juventus and Sevilla Just started.

Juventus must win

Juventus vs Sevilla for the first leg of the Europa League semi-final will take place in less than an hour from now. Sevilla did beat Manchester United to find Juventus, but I think these are two very good teams and maybe it's hard to guess. Sevilla have a fantastic record in the Europa League which makes them the team with the most titles, but I think that's just history that maybe doesn't affect their game this season.

I don't favor either of these teams in the first leg, but if Sevilla win today's game then I will favor them in the second leg. The result looked like it would be a draw, but Juventus had the home advantage.

Most matches we do see the favourite sides always turn to yield a reverse of our expectations.  I don't see Inter Milan in the imagwhen trying to consider who will win yesterday but they did,  and in a very brilliant way. Today everyone is seeing Juventus forgetting that Juventus didn't seems as good as Manchester United did in the quarter-final round. But I won't be surprised to see Sevilla in the final stage especially when I remember how Manchester United was deleted from this tournament.

Juventus looks like the main favorite here and i think they might win easily this duel against Sevilla. Juventus defence looks really good and i doubt that Sevilla can penetrate it that easily. Also Roma vs Leverkusen for me might be a low scoring match due to the playing style of Roma.

I agree with you that the 3 teams currently in the semifinals can be said to have a lot in common which in the end makes it difficult for us to predict who will win the match later. indeed, at first glance, there are teams that are more favored, like Juventus, for example, but that is not a guarantee that they will be able to really do well in the semifinals of the Europa League this season.

We are now entering the final two hours before the matches start!



Some of the questions relevant to this match are not yet answered like who is going to play and who is not. Leverkusen will be missing Patrik Schick and that would have been a great story as Patrik Schick used to play for Roma. El Sharaawy will be missing for Roma, a player who is good when he comes on as a joker. All the little ingredients could be needed today, but Roma is not able to start with their best eleven.

What does Mourinho has up his sleeves? It will be a match packed with action, but I do not expect a lot of goals. Usually that is what Leverkusen can do best, but today I predict less goals than usual will be scored. The odds are in favor of Roma although in my view the odds are not a good indicator in this game of what is possibly going to happen.

If I had to pick some results, I'd go with a 1-1 draw in both games!

What are your picks?

I know how this match will be interesting when they meet in the semifinals actually the Roma bet is also quite tempting because as the seeded team tonight we don't know what will happen later because in reality Leverkusen is not that easy to lose they both have greatness on the field but we it's not easy to predict.
Roma is not doing well in Serie A matches what might bring him to the European league? I'm still very confused between the two which one to choose as a bet, maybe another option would be better.

I actually don't doubt Mourinho's tactics because he has experience in this prestigious field, between their strategic duels will determine who is greater, but on the other hand Alonso has also brought his team to a good influence in the Bundesliga and that's what I want to know about tonight's match as the crucial semi-final.

I hope this fight will be a very exciting and interesting match. considering that this match brought together two coaches between Jose Mourinho and Xavi Alonso. these two coaches, had formed partners when they were still with Real Madrid. Xabi as a player, Mourinho remains as a coach. well, this match is quite an interesting match for me personally than the Juventus vs Sevilla match. referring to what you said, yes, these two teams have H2H history in the Champions League. now, both of them will fight in the semi-finals of the Europa League.

In this match, AS Roma is more favored than Leverkusen. I think it's very natural, because this match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico, headquarters of AS Roma. but if we refer to their matches in the League competition, after overthrowing Feyenoord, Roma appeared in a poor performance without a win in the last 4 matches in the domestic league.

On the other hand, Leverkusen have been in decline in their last two matches in the league. but they have an interesting record when away from home in the Europa League competition, Leverkusen were able to overthrow Monaco and USG. so, I think Leverkusen has the probability to overthrow the home team in this match. well, if we refer to the predicted line-up of these two teams. either AS Roma or Bayern Leverkusen, will implement an offensive pattern system. Roma with 3-4-2-1, Leverkusen with 3-4-3. by the way, referring to what you said. yes, this match has a potential probability of a draw with odds @2.90. but in my estimation, Leverkusen will win this match even though AS Roma is more favourite. well, the name is also a bet, winning and losing is a thing that can. So, I will choose Leverkusen with odds @3.45.

Roma vs Leverkusen

I think that in the semifinal match of the Europa League this time, all of them have equal qualities, so that makes it difficult for us to determine which team will win. In fact, betting with the option of both teams to score too, basically at this moment becomes a choice full of worries because in my view they don't have a stable performance.

Because, their results in the previous match, both in the previous Europa League match and also in their match in the domestic league, still cannot promise the same results for their performance and results in this Europa League match. So yes, at this moment we can only bet based on hope because we support a certain team, as I did at this moment I chose Bayer Leverkusen and also Juventus but still this choice is accompanied by doubts.

Roma have great potential in tomorrow's match Because in the first leg they were able to defeat the opposition team brilliantly. In view of which the next match deserves to confirm the victory of Roma. But the opposition will want to bounce back.

Two legends in one frame!
Xabier Alonso vs Jose Mourinho are set to face off each other in an epic match. Roma host to Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-finals, and Alonso leading his side into their first-ever appearance at this stage of the competition. It won't be easy face off against someone like Mourinho who has years of experience. As for my prediction, I feel that Mourinho's experience in this field will give him the edge and he needs to progress to the next round.

All good points but as you said, in a certain sense a comparison between Feyenoord and Leverkusen does make sense. Saying that Roma has beaten Feyenoord easily is a bad joke But who cares.

In terms of Dybala, it is still not public knowledge whether he is going to start or not right? Mourinho didn't want to tell if I read the correct news here.

In terms of being tired, why would Leverkusen not be tired? I can't see that much of a difference. One difference might be that Leverkusen went through the last stage of this competition pretty easily whereas Feyenoord gave Roma a really hard fight (instead of passing it easily... ).

Yes, I agree that we shouldn't predict the outcome of the game, but if Juventus defeats Sevilla, it shouldn't come as a surprise because Juventus is in better shape than Sevilla, has better forwards than Sevilla, and even in their league, Juventus' performance this season has been better than Sevilla's.
And as for Roma versus Leverkusen, I feel Roma can defeat Leverkusen since Roma is also in terrific position this season. Roma has had some failures, but I think they won't in this one.

In my opinion, a draw is very possible in this match, Roma and Leverkusen have met 4 times in the Champions League, in these 4 meetings the two teams were equally strong, with 2 draws and 2 other matches won by Roma and Leverkusen respectively. Roma and Leverkusen both suffered defeat in their last match in the local league, in the last 5 matches of the two teams, they were both unable to maintain their best matches. Overall Roma have progressed a bit this season, but ahead of the match against Leverkusen Mourinho men have not performed well.
