Roma vs Leverkusen Pick and Prediction
| ODDS | AI PICKS |
| MONEYLINE | Draw +285 |
The Italian side landed a two-legged victory in the Roma vs Leverkusen matchup last season, but the German visitors come into this semi-final in a very different level of form. Leverkusen are unbeaten across all competitions this term, and they are within touching distance of immortality.
However, we do expect them to encounter issues in Rome this week, and their domestic performance levels have dropped in recent weeks. For that reason, there could be value in the Roma vs Leverkusen odds on the draw.

AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen Analysis
AS Roma Preview
The Italian hosts are no strangers to the business end of European competitions, as they will be competing in the final four of a competition on the continent for the fourth straight season. Last term, they reached the final of the Europa League before losing to Sevilla.
Roma were incredibly professional in the previous round of the competition, as they overcame Serie A rivals AC Milan over two legs. After claiming a 1-0 away win, they made home advantage count by securing a 2-1 success in Rome.
Their home form in the knockout stages of the competition has been excellent this term, as the Roma schedule also shows that they were convincing 4-0 winners at the Stadio Olimpico against Brighton.
However, their UEL injuries are mounting at this stage of the season, and they could be set to be without Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling for this vital first leg on Thursday.
Bayer Leverkusen Preview
It is easy to have run out of superlatives when talking about the season that Bayer Leverkusen have enjoyed this term. They have already wrapped up a first ever Bundesliga crown, and they remain in the hunt for a historic treble.
The UEL team stats show that Leverkusen have remained unbeaten across all competitions this term, and they have already showed their class after finishing top of the UEL standings before the turn of the year.
However, there could be a clear argument that they are running out of steam after narrowly avoiding defeats in each of their last three matches across all competitions.
The UEL player stats also show that they have underperformed in away matches in the knockout stage after playing out draws in each of their last two.
AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen Head to Head
Roma landed a 1-0 aggregate success against Leverkusen at this stage of the Europa League last term. The German visitors are also winless in their last five competitive fixtures against Roma, losing on two occasions since a 3-1 home win in the 2004-05 season.
