AS Roma cant be dismissed solely on league position. They proved their worth by defeating AC Milan. However, Mourinho's team has been inconsistent this season, losing points incorrectly. Though De Rossi has improved things, are they back to their best? Not convinced. Going up against tough teams like Leverkusen will be the real test.

In the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is unbeaten in ages. Score enough to offset poor defence. Due to the schedule and injuries, Roma will be busy.  With momentum, Leverkusen may beat Roma. Isnt it fun that the best team doesnt always win in football? This game could upset.

You won't add the performance of Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen this season because Leverkusen are more better than Liverpool this season and I believe with Leverkusen they will keep the record undefeated and they will do it against Roma, we know roma is a very good club, and you can't be downgrading them because they are good that is why they are still in the competition, everyone has the advantage at home to defeat any club because that is what Dortmund did to Athletico Madrid and defeat them at home and eliminate them.

In my opinion, and based on the form I've seen Leverkusen in this season, I believe Xabi Alonso will do everything he can to win the game or draw it and then come back and finish the rest at home, but anything can happen, and you can predict anything at any time. Let's just see how Roma performs in the first leg against Leverkusen and who will likely get the opportunity to qualify for the Europa League final.

For now it is increasingly difficult for Roma to finish in the top 4 because of last week's defeat against Bologna at home, but even so, everything is not over for Roma, they have to continue to get up and be on the winning track because the possibility is still there, even though it is small.
This week Roma again face difficulties because they have to travel to Napoli's headquarters, this is not an easy match for Roma but with great motivation to achieve their target and also if De Rossi is able to restore the mentality and confidence of the Roma team then they have the possibility of being able to achieve 3 points this week.

Roma hoped a lot before their direct match with Bologna to take over the fourth position but it ended as a loss for Roma. This defeat knocked Roma down in a race for a fourth position but they came back strongly with a win against Udinese. This win is important for Roma because even with three points from that match, Roma position is still very uncertain. They can lose a temporary fifth position to either Lazio, Atalanta ịn remaining matches.

This season in Serie A can be nightmare for Roma if they will finish it at the 7th position after next five matches.

You know we all are giving predictions in favour of Bayern Leverkusen but no one is thinking about the capacity of Roma to beat Bayern Leverkusen, let us not forget so soon what happened to Liverpool can happen to Bayern Leverkusen even though they are still unbeaten. Since Danielle De Rossi became Roma's manager, he has proved his capacity to lead the team to a certain level and I don't think there is any criticism about his coaching styles and if care is not taken he will want to surprise everyone in the match with Bayern Leverkusen and in recent seasons Roma have been performing better so let us not just focus all our interests on Bayern Leverkusen alone. May be Roma's coach may also want to begin his coaching career with Roma by winning the Europa league competition but it's obvious everyone is just looking from the perspective of Bayern Leverkusen without giving Roma a thought.

Milan's defeat also came as a surprise to many, but Roma showed that even playing with a red card for most of the match they were able to resist Milan. And Bayer was also one step away from defeat several times, remember the match with Karabakh, where without the help of the referee it would have been very difficult for them to turn the tide of the match. So if Roma manages to beat Bayer it will not be a surprise to me, De Rossi proves that he has very good prospects in his coaching career.

Even though Roma could be Leverkusen's toughest opponent in the Europa League this season, I don't think that Roma can beat Leverkusen, who until now have consistently played quite well in their matches. Yesterday I thought Leverkusen would lose to Stuttgart, but that again didn't happen to Leverkusen because they were able to compensate in the final minutes of the match in the Bundesliga so that could happen again when Leverkusen faces Roma in the first leg of the Europa League in the semifinals.

The match against Roma will of course test Leverkusen's mentality and also performance in maintaining their unbeaten record this season, so far I think Roma will be their toughest opponent during the Europa League competition, so far we can see how Leverkusen is able to maintain the consistency of its game when it comes to facing 3 tight competitions that do demand consistency in the game,  At the moment I think Roma will be Leverkusen's toughest opponent to win the championship trophy this season as well as to open their chances of winning the treble.

What you said is true, so far Roma should no longer be in doubt since de Rossi coached, Roma this season certainly has high motivation to be able to win the championship trophy after they failed to compete in Serie A in the scudetto race, besides that Roma's failure in the Europa League final last season is certainly a reference and motivation for them to beat Leverkusen in the semifinal match later,  I personally favour Leverkusen this season but still dare not underestimate Roma who are full of surprises this season.

of course Leverkusen will be the favorite in European league matches this season and this deserves to be given to Leverkusen who currently really have very high consistency and are able to maintain the physical fitness of the players who are still strong without experiencing injury problems to the main players.
anyone will say the same thing about Leverkusen praise this season but believe me this will not be an easy match for Leverkusen even though Roma is not too strong like Leverkusen but in this European league competition Roma could surprise with a bigger performance than before.
one thing we have to consider is that currently Roma has a new coach who in my opinion is very intelligent and is able to take Roma to a higher level and with this achievement Roma is able to make it difficult for Leverkusen to qualify for the final round.
my prediction is that in the first leg, it is possible that Leverkusen could lose, but in the second leg, Leverkusen will still avenge that defeat with a higher aggregate score.

this is just speculation to predict the results of the first leg match and there are no guarantees in future matches.

Marseille is not strong team this season, in Ligue 1 they performed less consistently and experienced quite lot of bad results with defeats, but in the Europa League Marseille played quite well and they managed to survive until now they are in the semifinals.
But their opponent is Atalanta, which is also an unstable team in Serie A and Atalanta has also experienced quite lot of bad results with defeats, if assess the performance of the two teams in each domestic competition, they both have similarities.
It just that seeing the struggle of the two in the Europa League competition, I think Marseille will be far superior and it is possible that Marseille will succeed in qualifying for the final.
But considering that both of them have almost equal performance, it will be very difficult to judge who will advance to the final, but I sure that both of them will definitely play with full competition and try to beat each other quite fiercely.

For Leverkusen I really believe that they will win over Roma, everyone definitely makes Leverkusen the favorite and the bookies give very big edge to make Leverkusen the favorite in betting.
Everything has been organized from the start and Leverkusen will indeed become champions of the Europa League this season, they will win many titles in one season with truly very significant developments.

Roma is one of the teams that most seeks a way to play to win, whether in the Europa League and fighting for a good place in Serie A, even though they are in 5th place, they don't have it so easy, the Bologna. No, they don't even give an arm to twist for them to move forward, and Juve is the team that I see with the most Weakness , I don't know if in this case Alleguiri shows weakness, he can't lose or draw, because Allegri and Juve just have to win, there is no other way, that's why we are seeing things as they are, for example when I look for a way to establish a better path so that It can generate more confidence, I would say that Roma is good, of course In fact, Roma deserves or a place in the league or winning the Europa League, although it will be very difficult because Leverkusen is unbeaten.

But we can't underestimate AS Roma and they have experience in this competition, maybe AS Roma played badly in Serie A but we have to remember that they reached this stage with struggle meaning they also have power, Leverkusen does look stronger from all sides but sometimes we don't know when good and bad days will come. For now I don't recommend betting on 1x2 because there are clear risks who knows, AS Roma might try to draw and rely on penalties so when they are under penalty then the chances of both teams are 50:50.

Roma seem still struggling to play against strong teams. They were lost to Inter and Bologna when they need to win the games to achieve tehri target of finishing in Champions League zone. I think Roma have a fair chance to win Europa League trophy. Maybe they are not the best team in the competition, but history tells that Europa League was rarely won by the favorite team. This is the reason I always count on Roma despite they are having transitional management from Mourinho to Danielle de Rossi.

Leverkusen is surely the most favorite one, but this status could put bigger pressure on them. Their remarkable journey of the season makes every team know they play and their tactics. This becomes another challenge for Leverkusen to handle. Roma can be said still raw about their tactical display considering De Rossi has never coached before. Who knows the results in this competitions will be some surprises.

We should be ready to face our fears because it involves staking. I'm believing 100% on Bayer Leverkusen to win matches without fears this season. An important game for AS Roma that's having such terrible performance in Seria A this season, compare to Bayer Leverkusen that have maintain streak winning and flowing for important upgrades and winning. AS Roma are simply no match for Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League. It's been a top choice for both teams, as they both seek to win significant title this season

For both clubs, the Europa League semifinal match will be one of the most serious matches they have faced this season, because this match will determine their steps to the next stage. Leverkusen has the ambition to win the treble this season, and Roma has the ambition to advance to the final and make amends for their failure last season. We can easily guess who will progress to the next stage, because by looking at Leverkusen unbeaten consistency, we can draw conclusions to predict how their match will end. However, there is no guarantee that Leverkusen can continue their positive trend, what is clear is that the Roma versus Leverkusen match is more interesting than the Atalanta versus Marseille match.

If Leverkusen are eliminated, then their defeat will be a big surprise, in which I think Roma will be the luckiest team because they managed to break Xabi Alonso squad unbeaten record. But this seems difficult to happen, although De Rossi has made Roma develop for the better after taking over leadership from Jose Mourinho. Leverkusen was lucky enough to have enough rest time, because ahead of the Europa League semifinals, Roma still had to undergo a tough match in Serie A against Napoli. Fatigue is a challenge faced by Roma, while Leverkusen has more preparation time.

ThE strength Leverkusen is showing across the Europa league this season is actually posing a threat to almost all the teams a d putting some level of fear inside them because they think they cannot be able to really handle them as the consider the results and record they have this season both in the Europa and their domestic league so it's actually a thing to bother who will be the first to get them to suffer their first loss this season.

Leverkusen is most definitely going to win the trophy this season, if not for anything for the kind of pressure they are exerting on other teams currently such that it's beginning to make them want to not be sure if they will be able to contend Leverkusen because Leverkusen has giving that mindset that they are definitely not going to stop at  just winning the trophy but also staying unbeaten till the end of the season so they are now appearing as a team that can't be contended with. In the whole of the Europa at this time Leverkusen seem to have the best squad amongst others.

It very possible if giving the chances Roma will want to make sure to qualify to the finals of the game but then the fear is in the fact thst Roma have been doing well against mediocre teams who aren't real rough so if they get to the finals and meet Leverkusen, they may make the game difficult for Leverkusen but i doubt if they will be able to win the trophy by the end of the finals.a Roma and Leverkusen finals is actually going to be interesting to watch.

Leverkusen is undefeated in all the competitions for this season. They have no lose in Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and Europa league. I think this is a perfect season for Leverkusen, they can deal with every match without a lose. They have a winning mentality under Xabi Alonso's management. With this condition, we can assume that Leverkusen is ideally better than AS Roma. Even if AS Roma performance has been improved, they still experience some losses. This indicates that AS Roma still can't play very consistent as Leverkusen.

Whatever the reason, I personally believe in Leverkusen to beat AS Roma. Leverkusen has a brilliant coach and has great players. Look at the current result of their matches, they are very often scoring goals in injury time. This is the mentality of the winners, we must be familiar with the team that often did it. Yes, it is Real Madrid who often do it. With a great mentality, Real Madrid can scored even in injury time. This also happens with Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso as the former of Real Madrid player builds the mentality to Leverkusen players. This is something that AS Roma doesn't have. So the chance of Leverkusen to win should be higher.

Bayern Leverkusen have mow gotten themselves in the history books as they have been able to win their first ever Bundesliga title. The win over Werder Bremen was enough to hell them seal up their place in first place and get them the trophy. Their run to this win of the title has been one that’s been quite fascinating especially as they haven’t recorded any loss in their way up till this moment and also none across all competitions. This performance is real top notch and as such you can imagine how much efforts the boys and Xabi Alonso have put in to the success of this.
 
 Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities. He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club.

 He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga. He's just been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club. His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

Roma are under pressure to pursue their targets in Serie A and having to face Leverkusen in the Europa League, it is clear that in terms of momentum Leverkusen is luckier. De Rossi efforts to balance Roma performance in Serie A and in the Europa League will not be easy, because in the next 4 matches they will face Napoli, Leverkusen and Juventus and Atalanta.

These four matches could make Roma lose balance, especially if Lukaku has not recovered from his injury, of course this will make their condition difficult. Roma target to finish in the top four of the standings is the main burden, apart from having to beat Leverkusen, who is the current favorite team. It's true, De Rossi arrived late but currently Roma still has the opportunity to realize their ambitions.

Leverkusen, so far no team has been able to beat them, Roma will be very lucky if they succeed in doing so. But I think this is quite difficult to make happen, because a team like Bayern has tried but failed, Xabi fleet deserves to be the favorite. We certainly don't ignore the fact that Roma managed to reach the final last season, but this season their chances are relatively low because they have to face Leverkusen, a team that refuses to lose.

roma is out of the top 4 positions in series A because when they were under mourinho's command, roma lost a lot of points even when they played against weak teams, i believe that if roma were with Daniele De Rossi at that moment roma would be at least the team that would be in position 2 or 3 in series A. but Daniele De Rossi arrived a little late, now Roma can only fight for position number 4 and there are many complicated games ahead, not just the game against leverkusen that will be difficult. tomorrow roma will play against napoli who despite not being good this season, still have great power and could beat roma and that would affect roma in the table

Then Roma will have a game against Juventus and Atalanta, they are two strong teams. most of roma's good players come from injuries, so all these difficult series A games will wear out roma's players a lot, so it becomes very clear that roma will come into the game against leverkusen worn out, so i see leverkusen with bigger chances of winning. and talking about leverskusen, they continue their unbeaten streak in the bundesliga. There are already 46 games without Leverkusen having lost It will be very difficult for Roma to beat Leverkusen, but it is not impossible. That's because Leverkusen has had a weak defense, but has compensated with a good attack that scored a goal in the final minutes. If Roma has a good defense, they will win the game
