The Europa League returns this Thursday with the first matches of the semi-finals, where the four teams remaining in the competition will duel for the grand final on May 31 at “Puskas Arena”. Juventus-Sevilla and Roma-Bayer Leverkusen are the two pairs from which the finalist teams of this edition of the Europa League will emerge.
Jose Mourinho’s Roma will aim to triumph again in the arena, a year after winning the “Conference League”, they now aim to go all the way to another European competition.
The first match at “Olimpico” will be very important, with Roma wanting to clarify the accounts of the qualification. The Italians eliminated Feyenoord after extra time in the quarterfinals, while Leverkusen in the last 5 games in the Europa League has won 4 and 1 draw, while the Germans have not been defeated in the last 9 away games in all competitions.
Roma is in a bad moment, since in the last 4 meetings it has not won a single game, but in Europe the Italians have shown that they have another face and this challenge is expected to decide a lot about the fate of the team that will touch the final of great.
The last time Roma and Leverkusen faced each other in the group stage of the Champions League was in November 2015, when the Italians won 3-2 “Olimpico”.
