Of course this game is one of the most important for Daniele De Rossi since being appointed as Roma coach, he also does not close his eyes to the strength that Leverkusen currently has because they still hold the record as the only team unbeaten this season in all competitions. De Rossi has determined a powerful strategy to damage Leverkusen playing system and at the same time give the team coached by Xabi Alonso their first defeat. He may instruct several players to monitor the movement of opposing players who have been the driving force behind the attack.

Guarding several opposing players in particular is a powerful strategy to limit movement and damage the opponent's game plan. De Rossi is a little relieved because before this match starts, several important players are starting to take part in training sessions, Lukaku, Chris Smalling and Leandro Paredes will probably be included in the line up used against Leverkusen. It is very likely that a surprise will happen in this game, maybe Roma will give Leverkusen their first defeat or vice versa, Leverkusen will achieve a big win at Roma headquarters.

Yes it is natural to say that if you look at it from your point of view structure, I would not also argue if that was the case, because indeed if you look at the domestic league standings As Roma are much worse than their best and Roma's defeat this season in Serie A is much more than Bayern Leverkusen, as well as Leverkusen who have outstanding achievements this season in the Bundes League and pressing Bayern Munich not to get the title this season is an extraordinary achievement, so yes if you look at it from this point of view I would definitely say the same thing as what you said.

Well we already see yesterday some surprises in the game from Champions League between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich so we can expect also in this tournament some surprise between the teams, and i feel like the surprise on this one is gonna come from the As ROme beating Bayern Leverkusen and cutting the undefeated run from the german team.

Regardless of whatever strategy the coach uses, the most important thing is the final result, as you said, there is nothing embarrassing about defensive strategy.

However, destroying Leverkusen is not an easy thing because many teams have tried it throughout this season and none have succeeded.
Leverkusen is a strong team, we have to admit that and Roma is actually also a strong team when managed by De Rossi but in their last few matches in the domestic league we can see that their performance is a little bad so this is a benchmark for the first leg match they played Leverkusen.

I still favor Leverkusen, I think that's realistic because in terms of overall strength we can see from the start of the season that Leverkusen is much stronger and more consistent.

It is true that history is always marked the winners, champions, not the losers and runner-ups. Leverkusen are playing impressively and they are going to the final match. Only one more barrier along their way to the final, Roma which beat Leverkusen in the last season.

Roma will play defensive but less serious like with Mourinho and De Rossi will try to choose good time within a match to force his players do attacking and find a win at home.

From parking a bus to destroying Leverkusen, there is no logic and solid foundation for your belief. Roma can win against Leverkusen but destroy the German opponent, sounds unrealistic.

The status of Lukaku is unknown and he is very important for Roma because two other strikers, Abraham and Azmoun are not good enough to replace Lukaku.

Parking the bus is a must for italian club. How good or bad the gameplay from the team doesn't even matter. The history is always writting the winner from the league. It doesn't really matter what gameplay to get the trophy as long as you get a trophy and you were a winner. There's no need to feel parking bus is shameful strategy to be used.
Think about how to win the competition. It will be shameful if your team is always playing football without even winning the trophy. The value from the big club was when it was winning a trophy.

Roma is gonna destroy leverkusen soon. Lukaku can play alone at upfront since he has very good physic to be one on one or even two on one.

The point is that both teams must be able to minimize their mistakes as little as possible, no matter whether it is an away match or a home match. Because even if they play at home but their game is not good or often makes unnecessary mistakes, then that will be detrimental to them, because the opponent might be able to use that to their advantage.

AS Roma will have an advantage in this first leg because they will play as hosts, but keep in mind that their opponent is Leverkusen, which is a team that has not been defeated so far. So it is a difficult task for them to win.

De Rossi must be able to see Leverkusen's strengths this season, so that he can implement a strategy that can kill the movements that are the mainstay of Leverkusen's game. It is a coach's job to formulate strategies and the players must be able to implement the strategies given by the coach well, so that they can get maximum results.

Of course, the fact that Roma is playing at home is very important for such a semi-final match. Fan support can change many things in such matches, so we cannot ignore that Roma will have an advantage. But I still think Leverkusen has a high chance of winning this match. If they manage to score 2-3 goals in the first match, they will be very comfortable in reaching the final. It doesn't matter if they draw or not, Leverkusen will be the winner in the next match

The upcoming semifinal match between Roma and Leverkusen looks like it will be easy to predict. Xabi squad have maintained an impressive record of 46 matches unbeaten, a statistic strong enough to convince many bettors to pick Leverkusen as the favorites. While De Rossi has undoubtedly improved Roma since Mourinho departure, compared to Xabi in Leverkusen, Roma still have a lot to do. This is not to underestimate Roma, but Leverkusen reputation this season is at a different level compared to most European teams.

Roma still have difficulty winning when facing big clubs, where their victory over Milan in the previous quarter finals was one of their best achievements to date. However, facing Leverkusen everything could be different, De Rossi has to think of a surefire way to make good use of the momentum of the home match. If De Rossi applies an attacking strategy or plays too openly, you can be sure that Leverkusen will win easily.

De Rossi will definitely tend to choose a defensive strategy and rely on counter attacks, fortunately his two mainstay players on the front line are reportedly available again, namely Lukaku and Smalling. In this way, Roma could have a chance to win the match, or force Leverkusen to a draw. However, regardless of whatever strategy De Rossi will implement, Leverkusen, with their performance this season, is much more of a favourite, I don't think Roma will be able to make Leverkusen taste the bitterness of defeat for the first time.

At least it affects playing away but if the team has a strong mentality I don't think it's a big problem and so far Leverkusen is a team that has proven that they have a strong mentality, Leverkusen is a team that is unbeaten this season in all competitions.

Leverkusen, who will play away in the first leg, will of course make a strategy to make it easier for them in the second leg. I think a draw is good enough for Leverkusen if they can get it and try to play optimally in the second leg at home.

The first leg of the Europa League will be played at home to Rome later, Roma so far has a pretty good playing record at home so surely it will make Leverkusen difficult to beat Roma at home, it seems that against Roma of course a draw is a more realistic goal to be achieved by Leverkusen in the first leg later, especially so far we know that most Italian teams often play defense when facing other European teams,  So I think De Rossi will of course focus their game a little bit defensively to prevent the sharpness of the Leverkusen attackers in scoring, but even so of course De Rossi will try to find the winning goal in the game by relying on quick counterattacks.

Two teams in good form at the moment will of course make the match exciting, both teams will of course secure every opportunity that exists to be able to ensure the second leg match will be easier for them, my prediction in the match will be Leverkusen will dominate the match but the final score will be a draw for both teams.

Playing as a home team may not provide a big advantage for Roma because their opponents this time have proven to never perform below expectations, in fact they can always get out of great pressure so they not only perform well in the Bundesliga but also in this European league.
The most impressive thing about Roma in the European league was when they reversed all predictions when they beat AC Milan, but overall Roma's performance is still not so stable compared to Bayer Leverkusen, because this team from Germany has never wasted the opportunity to continue maintaining its unbeaten record so far. In the Bundesliga, even though they have secured the title, they still play with high motivation to give resistance to their opponents, especially in the European league where Xabi Alonso has said this is their next target, my prediction is that Roma can only get a draw or if they succeed in winning it was only with a narrow score of 1-0.

A guest will have hard time in a home away match and Roma will be the host in this match. They can use their two matches with Leverkusen last season as own lessons and take them as one of their preparations for this match. Leverkusen didn't have too many changes in their players since last season so even they upgraded themselves a lot, there will be some common things with the past season.

Leverkusen must play very carefully and avoid mistakes like in their match with Qarabag FK because Roma are at a higher level than Qarabag FK and can beat Leverkusen and won't allow Leverkusen to equalize the match easily.

The match is expected to end with a draw in this first leg and both teams to score according to some predictions I saw. Well, Roma is playing home and will have hard time against Bayer Leverkusen. Personally I think Leverkusen are favourite but maybe the fact they are playing away will contribute to the suggested draw.
For both teams to score, I think it will be accurate and at the end Bayer Leverkusen to pass if they could secure any result other than a defeat in Rome.

This is a home match for AS Roma, so they can take advantage of this match to achieve a victory in order to widen their chances when competing in the second leg. Considering that their opponent is Leverkusen, Leverkusen is a team that is doing very well this season, this will not be an easy task for them. Leverkusen is also targeting champions in the Europa League, because they no longer have the burden of the Bundesliga, so they can focus more on matches in the Europa League.
If Leverkusen can win, then they will be more comfortable when playing in the second leg, because they will be playing in front of their own supporters, and we know that Leverkusen fans are very enthusiastic this season.

Roma against Leverkusen and Atlanta against Marsella, we all know that Roma matches against Leverkusen will be the tough among this matches, Roma on the other are very serious on this league because they don’t have any trophy to win apart from this and Leverkusen in the other hand will not allow Roma should win the match because anything that concern defeating Leverkusen don’t want it this season, they want to be an unbeatable team season that’s why they always fight to win or end in a draw in every match, Roma performance in the Serie A league is somehow and I’m not sure if they can defeat Leverkusen, it doesn’t matter of anywhere they play the game, Leverkusen always creates a way to get a goal in every match.

And regarding Atlanta and Marsella, Atlanta will defeat Marsella both home and away, Atlanta is very strong this season and we can see what they did to Liverpool and eliminate them, they defeated Liverpool and also made Liverpool look like a small team, Atlanta will surely be the favorite to go to the final stage of this Europa League, and if Atlanta goes to the final stage nothing will stop them from winning the title because they have very strong defensive and attacking players this season.

This is a semifinal match, both teams will give their best in this match and it must be admitted that Leverkusen is a very strong team but Roma cannot be underestimated either.
In this first leg match, Roma will play at home and this should be an advantage that they can take advantage of to make Agg easier for them in the second leg. Even though it is difficult, the opportunity is still there and I am sure this match will be very fierce.

The team's priorities for the domestic league and Europa League are clearly different and it must be admitted that Leverkusen has a slight advantage because they have succeeded in securing the Bundesliga title so now they can focus fully on the Europa League competition and this is in contrast to Roma who are still struggling in the Serie competition. A to be able to fulfill their target, namely finishing in the top 4 and now this is getting further away because of the series of less than optimal results they have gotten.

AS Roma must play against the Bundesliga champions in Europe. This league will make De Rossi have to think about the strength or stamina of his players, because AS Roma are also still struggling in the Italian League to establish themselves in fifth position and above, AS Roma must fight to win against Bayer Leverkusen which they have to do. Be prepared for the pressure or game that Xabi Alonso's men will show, by playing at home, I think AS Roma should be able to win, it's not impossible for De Rossi's men to beat Bayer Leverkusen this Friday night.
Playing at home to AS Roma, Bayer Leverkusen certainly don't want to lose their victory, where they have never been defeated this season, I think this is a tough match for both teams with their respective prestige, a quite possible option. under.

the pressure that Roma has to face is different from Leverkusen who have finished the Bundesliga title so they can focus more on the European League matches, while Roma have to stay in Serie A to get a European League ticket in the following season but will also focus on the European League matches and this puts a little pressure to the Roma players to continue to maintain their performance and physical quality.
in this match perhaps most people believe that perhaps Roma can come out ahead with a slightly higher aggregate score later but I believe that Leverkusen can respond with some scores.
considering Xabi strategy which is often used in the Bundesliga and European leagues, it seems difficult for Roma to beat Leverkusen unless it ends in a draw and for me the right betting option is only BTTS.

Against Leverkusen on the third of May, I think Roma is definitely going to feel the pressure. Because they also have to care about the Serie A as well. But I guess it is not going to be that much of a problem as it is the semifinals of the Europa League competition, they will have two matches to actually have a good aggregate score. I would definitely be lying if I said that Leverkusen is not the better team going into this match. They are definitely the better opponent and as they also do not have to care about the Bundesliga anymore, I think they can put all their efforts and resources into winning the Europa League now.

People might say that it is important for them to keep a lossless streak in the Bundesliga. But I think winning the Europa League competition is more important than that. But on the other hand, Roma will have to worry about the Italian they lose too many matches in the Italian league, they will finish in the sixth position and probably not take part in the Europa League or any European competition. Roma might think that they will try to win the Europa League competition and not care about the Italian league. In that way, they will play in the Europa League anyway. But I don’t think that is a realistic plan to have
