A thrilling contest could be on the cards as Roma host Bayer Leverkusen in their Europa League semi-final first leg. While a closely fought encounter is expected here, Roma have experience at this stage of European competition and should have the edge at home.
Roma were taken to extra-time before seeing off Feyenoord 4-2 on aggregate in the quarterfinal of the Europa League. Having suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first meeting, they were on their way out of the competition before a late blitz saw them pick up a 4-1 victory in extra-time, watch now on Kilamity Blog
The Italians have not had the best build-up to Thursdayβs clash as they are winless in their last four matches and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Inter Milan in a Serie A fixture last Saturday. However, the Europa League has served as a welcome distraction and have won their last four home matches in the competition.
One thing Roma has going for them is the experience of manager Jose Mourinho, who has conquered virtually every sphere of European football. The Portuguese gaffer led the team to the Conference League title last season and will be targeting a natural progression this term.
