The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They have two tough encounters till the season is wrapped up where they'd face Juventus and Atalanta. Their two opponents over the years and recently respectively have proven to possess extreme fighting and contending abilities. They're very good competitors and they stand a victory chance when they both face Roma, thesame way Roma even if performing at an average pace can still prove to stay tough in games.

The inconsistency has got to be one in a billion. It's already cleared up now, all the need do is go unbeaten in Bundesliga until the last days of the competition. They've already won the Bundesliga, all that's needed is for the league to be rounded up.
Xabi Alonso and the rest of the squad has done well. They have off course written down themz names in the history books as of the best sides to go unbeaten to this point.

I feel like As Roma despite whatever form they're in would hold down Bayern Leverkusen to a full-time draw game and I'm eighty percent sure and certain bout it.

Don't underestimate As Roma, they won against them last season to move to the finals. This season without Jose Mourinho would be totally different and I'm gonna see that happening.
It could be a Bayern Leverkusen and Marseille finals.

Leverkusen almost never know defeat because what they know is a draw or a win, they always manage to score a goal at the end of the match, luck will always accompany them so it's not strange to see Leverkusen playing always managing to come back until the result is a draw or win, at least they don't experience defeat In fact, it seems that they might be a little allergic to losing so it is very difficult for other teams to beat them to date, not only in the domestic league but also in the UEL, they are unbeaten and if that continues then their level will have to be in the UCL next season.

Leverkusen can definitely get rid of As Roma even though Roma have a lot of experience playing in the UEL, statistics are not needed what is needed now is luck and consistency which seems to be what xabi alonso will do to his team, I think this match will be an interesting match compared to Marseille and Atalanta because Many hope that Leverkusen can win the treble winner this season, at least it will make new history for Leverkusen, not only breaking Munich's dominance but making history for the first time treble winner this season for Leverkusen.

In fact, Leverkusen have never lost this season in any competition. If AS Roma manages to beat Leverkusen then it will break Leverkusen's unbeaten record. I don't count losses on penalties because that also won't count towards the losing record. What I mean is defeat at full time. Actually, Leverkusen almost lost several times and you can see their matches against Dortmund and Stuttgart. I think AS Roma can learn from them how to anticipate and beat Leverkusen.

Milan defeat to Roma certainly surprised us all, because so far Milan has dominated Roma too much in the league so far, the meeting of two Italian teams this season previously made it easier for us to predict which team will be able to win but in fact everything we think is wrong and Roma made a surprise by defeating Milan which is the favorite besides Liverpool and Leverkusen,  The ability and also the improvement of performance in De Rossi's squad is something that we cannot deny so I think Leverkusen also deserves to beware Roma  in the semi-final match later, currently Leverkusen is a strong candidate to be able to win the Europa League trophy this season so maybe if Leverkusen loses it will certainly surprise us all like as milan and liverpool.

But to be honest, from the beginning I favoured Leverkusen to win the Europa League this season, because indeed they have all the necessary needs to win the Europa League, indeed a surprise might be given by Roma but certainly Alonso has anticipated it by emphasizing the players to be able to perform at their best in the match.

In fact, they are a team that has always been in a position not far from their current position in the last few seasons, and even if they manage to finish in 5th position (based on their current position) that is their best finish in the last 3 years. De Rossi has also shown a good process so far, he can add a new color to AS Roma's game since he was appointed to replace Jose Mourinho.

AS Roma is focusing on 2 competitions, the first in Serie A and the second here, the European League. And in the European League they will face the most favorite team, Leverkusen. Their chances in the Europa League are no better than their opponents, but that will not prevent them from being able to do their best and advance to the final round, even though it is not an easy thing for them.

If they manage to beat Leverkusen, it will be an extraordinary thing, because this season it is very difficult to give Leverkusen a defeat.

The problem is that this is not only about the challenge in Series A, but this time UEL is also putting a difficult pressure on maintaining the confidence of all Roma players even though they have a very great coach, but at least they have to try to focus on one competition, such as prioritizing the UEL match and trying to use second players in the competition. series A match to maintain its position.
What Roma and de Rossi have to do now is not to chase Bologna in series A but rather focus on UEL to get the title and also get a Champions League ticket.
If Roma really don't feel confident about playing Leverkusen in the upcoming match, it would be better to try to appear as strong as possible, after that they should focus on Series A as long as there are still matches remaining.

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.
