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
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.
