Roma and Bayer 04 Leverkusen will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa League Semi-finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both sides have had a decent time to rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's aim for an animated match!

Roma form and stats

Roma have collected 32 points from their Serie A home games so far after 10-2-5. 6W-2D-4L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Roma.

Roma's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Inter. Pellegrini, an attacker, was the best performer for the team in that match, earning a rating of 8.15 (out of 10). Pellegrini hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A 1-1 draw away in the Serie A before that, with Monza the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Roma perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Roma as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Roma has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Roma are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Bologna awaits in three days.

Roma are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 17 games. From these home matches, Roma have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Read more about Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
