Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen Preview
It has been a famous season in 2023-24 for Bayer Leverkusen, and they are within a month of achieving something that would have appeared impossible before the start of the campaign. Leverkusen remain unbeaten across all competitive matches this term, and are a short price to add DFB Pokal and Europa League glory to their Bundesliga triumph.
Leverkusen already have one foot in the final after a dominant performance in Italy last week. Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich scored the goals in the 2-0 win in Rome last Thursday.
That was their first victory over Roma since 2004, and their first success in five attempts against an Italian side. Leverkusen topped the UEL standings before Christmas, and they have now won nine and played out two draws in their eleven matches in the competition.
Leverkusen will be aiming to reach a third major European final on Thursday, and the UEL team stats certainly make them very challenging to bet against given they have no fresh UEL injuries.
AS Roma Preview
Roma will have a mountain to climb in Leverkusen on Thursday after underperforming in the first clash between the sides last Thursday. The Italian side rarely threatened the German defense in Rome, and will need to be much better this week.
Roma’s chances will also be hindered based on the fact that they have failed to win on their last six trips to Germany. More will be expected of their forward players, as the UEL player stats show that they have netted just six times across those matches.
However, the Roma schedule shows that they have performed consistently in the Europa League across recent seasons after reaching the final last term. They could reach a third successive European final with a victory on Thursday.
But, Roma’s defeat in the first leg was a hammer blow to their chances, as it was their first home-legged opening tie defeat since a 2-0 defeat in Rome against Real Madrid in 2015-16.
Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma Head to Head
Both teams have recorded two victories across the seven previous encounters, with three draws also having been played out. However, Leverkusen’s success last week was the first time that the away team had claimed victory.
