Quite an interesting match indeed in this case where the two clubs in the country will destroy each other in the Europa League competition.
Seeing the current conditions it is quite natural that Milan are favorites for the first leg where they will play at the San Siro and with more stable conditions but seeing the odds given to Roma I think it's too big and seems too underestimated even though if you look at the situation that is happening now Roma have actually performed quite well under the care of De Rosi at the moment and surely they will provide strong enough resistance when facing Milan despite playing away for the first leg.
I think instead of betting on one of the clubs here I might play it safe by taking a draw as an option even though the risk is quite large in the end when Milan are in very good condition now but it is still a reasonable thing in my opinion when it comes to a draw in this match.

Yes, fortunately, Roma is currently in pretty good condition under their new coach. Maybe they were worried because Roma's performance had really declined over time. But this time, it looks like they will be quite different. Considering that, de Rossi seems quite suited to Roma. So, just see how they perform, don't expect much from that. but at least, their performance will not be embarrassing. Even though the chance is quite slim, Roma must try as optimally as possible against Milan, which incidentally is a club from the same league. This is going to be very exciting again.

I don’t think so and your claim cannot be ascertain because Bayern Leverkusen have already earn a lot of points in the Bundesliga and the point gap is okay for them not to focus much on the Bundesliga games and focus more on the Europa League games. Excluding Bayern Leverkusen out of the teams for a potential final is not just imaginable. They still remain unbeaten and I don’t think any of their matchup to the finals will give them a hard time to beat and break their winning streak record.

And a final between Liverpool and Rome is a trophy for Liverpool to win. De Rossi have been doing great but I don’t see him as that brave as as Jurgen Klopp to beat him in that finals. Klopp is leaving by end of the season, even if it is that trophy he can win this season, he won’t joke with it after reaching the finals to win the trophy. It will be an applause for Rome to get to the final but winning it against Liverpool looks impossible to me honestly.

I feel like what he is doing at Roma right now is already proving that he is a good manager. If you do not give a manager what he needs and make him play with a bad team then him not getting the results you want is not his problem, right now Roma has the players that he likes and that means he can play his system without a trouble. That has to be the most important part of the situation and as long as he keeps going like this then he should be fine.

A lot of people consider the situation they are in as improved, that means the moment he started managing, they improved and that shows that he is actually good. Not that it means anything different, but he didn't even get any transfers that he needed, same team, different manager, doing much better.

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 played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor.

 In the game, they were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Milan.

That's right, with the advantage they currently have in the Bundesliga, it doesn't seem like it will be difficult for them to become champions, they just need a few more wins, so the Europa League will also be a priority for Xabi Alonso's men this season. If being in the Bundesliga is a reason to judge that they will not focus on the Europa League, I don't think that is the right reason, and honestly I don't see any reason why Leverkusen can't focus on the Europa League. So I agree with you, that the narrative conveyed by the OP does not have a strong basis regarding Leverkusen.

If Op says that he predicts AS Roma will be in the final, that's actually not a problem, because each of us definitely has our own views on this and that's fine. Because AS Roma also has a chance to be in the final, although in terms of opportunities I can't say their chances are big to make that happen. However, if luck is on their side, it is very possible that this could happen.

All the teams that have made it to the quarter-finals are strong teams including Roma, I don't want to refute your prediction because it might be your choice, but I think we can think more reality seeing who Roma will face now to reach the next round, Roma have indeed risen since the arrival of De Rossi, but with the quality and consistency possessed by Milan at this time,  Are you sure if Roma can overcome Milan and advance to the final with just the de Rossi factor?


I think it's just a prediction and of course we respect that, what you said is true, Leverkusen current performance is indeed quite good in the Bundesliga and they should now have focused their target on the Europa League, but honestly if in the Europa League, Leverkusen have not found an opponent commensurate with them especially before they struggled to beat Qarabag which is a weak team in my opinion,  Leverkusen's first test is against Westham and I think it's difficult for us to say if Leverkusen will easily beat Westham, yes I also hope that two between Liverpool, Leverkusen and AC Milan can reach the final because I think that would will be ideal final this season.

Do you want to bet on West Ham reaching the semi-finals or on them winning the individual game? In general, on the one hand, it makes sense to bet against Bayer, because they can’t never lose. But on the other hand, I don’t yet see that such a bet could be made with good odds. Even at home for Bayer, the game quotes are very modest:

1.55 – 4.10 – 6.20

It seems to me that here it is more profitable to take +55% on the favorite’s victory than to look for luck on the side of the outsider.

Leverkusen is quite comfortable at the top of the Bundesliga standings with a 10 point lead so I think that way they don't have any pressure in the Bundesliga so they can focus on their Europa League matches.
I don't think what you say has a strong reason, it's impossible for Leverkusen to put aside the Europa League for the sake of the Bundesliga which they are almost certain to get.

Roma does have quite good strength and has experienced very significant improvements since De Rossi's arrival, but I don't think it's easy, even in the quarter-finals against AC Milan, I don't think Roma's chances of qualifying are much greater.

It seems you didn't understand how the Quarter finals and semi finals draw in the UEFA Europa League competition was made but the f that's the case, I'll do my best to explain a little more for you. Roma and Bayer Leverkusen have been very impressive in the competition since the start of the season but considering how the remaining knockout stages of the competition have been drawn, the two teams can only meet each other in the semi finals should they eliminate their quarter final opponents. So if they meet each other in the semi finals, one will be eliminated while the other one will progress to the finals of the competition.
Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool are the two clubs that's been considered as the favorites of the competition and I think the two clubs are going to meet in the final

That possibility could happen, but Roma must beat Milan. Roma actually didn't perform that well, but they could be very strong in the deciding match.
Even though I'm not really sure Roma can make it to the final round, the chances are not bad either. while on the other hand, Leverkusen has a good chance this season with the Bundesliga and Europa League. They can achieve big achievements this season and there is no reason to only focus on the Bundesliga.
The teams currently in the quarter-finals certainly consider Leverkusen's strength this season. they cannot be underestimated.

You know when Jose Mourinho was sacked and replaced by Daniele De Rossi, a lot of football lovers were questioning the ability of De Rossi to handle AS Roma above the standard Jose Mourinho kept it before his departure but when Daniele De Rossi came on board as Roma's manager he cleared everyone's doubt about his capacity to lead the club to winning ways, Roma were literally winning matches without stress due to De Rossi's technical coaching skills. I tell people that one thing that improves a team is having an understanding between the players and their coach because Jose Mourinho was kinda authoritative to Roma players as compared with the Rossi that spent so much time with the club during his time as Roma's player and it's obvious he knows the football dynamics of Roma hence he applied technical skills that has led to his successes with the club so far.

Basically, we all know that Jose Mourinho is a defensive coach right from previous teams he had coached so that is his own pattern but you can agree with me that the best form of defense is to attack of which that is what De Rossi is doing for AS Roma and we can see the remarkable results he has been able to achieve so far.

It is difficult to compare Roma with Girona, all their similarities end with the fact that both of these teams try to use an attacking model in their strategies. In addition, Girona has been doing worse lately, while Roma has become more effective. To be honest, I don’t know if Roma will be able to cause problems for Milan, most likely both teams will score, since Milan’s defense is not ideal, but the attack works quite well. And I doubt that De Rossi will decide to change tactics for the match with Milan, and switch to a defensive game.

I dont know why but i can feel a final between Liverpool and Rome, if Rome has the enoguht luck in his side they can be in the final and De Rossi seems like he have that and plus the players are with him 100%.

For me Leverkusen is not gonna reach the final. They are gonna be very bussy with Bundesliga and they are not so good on head to head.

In my opinion, teams from Serie A are only able to advance to the semifinals. For me, that's the best achievement for a Serie A team. Either Milan or Roma, but I want a team from the Bundesliga, Leverkusen, who will beat them to be able to meet Liverpool.

We want the European League final between Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen.
If there was a final match between Liverpool vs Bayern Leverkusen, perhaps this would be the most luxurious final round ever. I also believe that the final match will beat the interest of the UCL final round.

the match against Qarabag was actually not a difficult match for Bayer Leverkusen, even though they conceded 4 goals, in fact Bayer Leverkusen did not suffer a defeat when playing away from home, a draw is not a bad result in the first leg because Bayer Leverkusen can still turn things around in the second leg if they play as the home team and Bayer Leverkusen really used their time well to win the match and qualify for the top 8. A match that could be said to be difficult for Bayer Leverkusen is in the top 8 because they will face Westham, a team from the EPL, but I am sure that even though Bayer Leverkusen is experiencing difficulties, they will still be able to get through it.

That's why this match will be a crucial match for De Rossi and his team when they meet AC Milan in the Europa League quarter-finals, as well as being a big challenge for De Rossi to break AC Milan's dominance. so, this match should present an interesting match between the two teams from the Serie A League. Talking about De Rossi, he brought AS Roma to a quite impressive performance. although, some of the teams they played against were mediocre teams. but at least, from his 13 matches with Roma. Rossi was able to bring his team to win 9 matches, 2 draws, 2 defeats, in two different competitions. the tactics and strategies promoted by De Rossi are quite effective, even though many people doubt them. what's unique about this coach is that he brings an offensive system and pattern. so, Roma when handled by Jose Mourinho and De Rossi was different.

Well, talking about the quarter-final match between Milan vs Roma, I'm pretty sure Roma will put up resistance. especially if we refer to the odds provided by gambling bookies, even if only temporarily. after all, both teams have quite big odds, at least this match has the potential to end in a draw. or, maybe there is a surprise that AS Roma will present. Let's just wait, these two teams will meet, especially to research and analyze them before the Europa League quarter-final match is held. let's wait, which team will win the fight.

I think in the Milan and Roma game, it is clear that Milan will be the favourites in that game, and of course I can see how Milan have performed in the league so far which has been quite consistent, indeed Roma is not an easy team to beat especially since the era of de Rossi coaching, but I think it is too risky to bet your money on their victory in that game,  I don't mean to belittle Roma but I don't see if Roma have anything that can indeed be favored in the game against Milan except maybe Pioli who is a little blind to De Rossi's strategy, other than that of course Milan will be able to beat Roma like they did in the previous two games in the league.

Leverkusen is the favorite in the game, but Westham is also not a team that will be easy to beat, especially so far Westham has also performed quite impressive in the league, in addition to the lack of statistics and head to head of the two teams so far the official league, of course, it is difficult for us to predict who the team will win in the game, but even so the betting market installs Leverkusen as the favorite to win.
What you do in my opinion is quite reasonable, because it is really Supposed that we should go against the flow by Placing Bets on the not favorite team, because indeed in football all Possibilities can happen, besides that with small Bets but do not rule out the possibility that we can win bigger.

But if Roma don't play attacking it might be more difficult for them to eliminate Milan. Because I don't think Roma are really good at playing a defensive game. That boring style of Mourinho was one of the reasons why they didn't have a successful run in the Serie A. They should be able to make up for their defensive weaknesses with their attacking strength.

You have a point about Milan though. We saw what they did to Napoli in the Champions League last season. This is what making them the favourite of the matchup here. But we will see whether they will show another example of that.

If De Rossi let Roma play attacking in quarter finals, it will be very risky for Roma because AC Milan are experienced enough in knock out matches and they have enough star players to punish any mistake from Roma players.

I agree their matches will be very balancing and they are challenging opponent for each other so to beat their opponent, they will need to play very excellently or need their opponent to make mistake and give them a big gift to score winning goals or perhaps mistakes from referees and VAR referees.

Leverkusen are stronger than West Ham but their matches against Qarabag are signals that Leverkusen have weaknesses that can be exploited by West Ham. Compare Qarabag and West Ham, West Ham are stronger and if Leverkusen repeats what they did in two matches with Qarabag, they will be knocked out by West Ham in quarter finals.
