UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Palakka]

Milan's defeat also came as a surprise to many, but Roma showed that even playing with a red card for most of the match they were able to resist Milan. And Bayer was also one step away from defeat several times, remember the match with Karabakh, where without the help of the referee it would have been very difficult for them to turn the tide of the match. So if Roma manages to beat Bayer it will not be a surprise to me, De Rossi proves that he has very good prospects in his coaching career.

Milan defeat to Roma certainly surprised us all, because so far Milan has dominated Roma too much in the league so far, the meeting of two Italian teams this season previously made it easier for us to predict which team will be able to win but in fact everything we think is wrong and Roma made a surprise by defeating Milan which is the favorite besides Liverpool and Leverkusen,  The ability and also the improvement of performance in De Rossi's squad is something that we cannot deny so I think Leverkusen also deserves to beware Roma  in the semi-final match later, currently Leverkusen is a strong candidate to be able to win the Europa League trophy this season so maybe if Leverkusen loses it will certainly surprise us all like as milan and liverpool.

But to be honest, from the beginning I favoured Leverkusen to win the Europa League this season, because indeed they have all the necessary needs to win the Europa League, indeed a surprise might be given by Roma but certainly Alonso has anticipated it by emphasizing the players to be able to perform at their best in the match.

AS Roma is focusing on 2 competitions, the first in Serie A and the second here, the European League. And in the European League they will face the most favorite team, Leverkusen. Their chances in the Europa League are no better than their opponents, but that will not prevent them from being able to do their best and advance to the final round, even though it is not an easy thing for them.
If they manage to beat Leverkusen, it will be an extraordinary thing, because this season it is very difficult to give Leverkusen a defeat.

In fact, Leverkusen have never lost this season in any competition. If AS Roma manages to beat Leverkusen then it will break Leverkusen's unbeaten record. I don't count losses on penalties because that also won't count towards the losing record. What I mean is defeat at full time. Actually, Leverkusen almost lost several times and you can see their matches against Dortmund and Stuttgart. I think AS Roma can learn from them how to anticipate and beat Leverkusen.

Leverkusen almost never know defeat because what they know is a draw or a win, they always manage to score a goal at the end of the match, luck will always accompany them so it's not strange to see Leverkusen playing always managing to come back until the result is a draw or win, at least they don't experience defeat In fact, it seems that they might be a little allergic to losing so it is very difficult for other teams to beat them to date, not only in the domestic league but also in the UEL, they are unbeaten and if that continues then their level will have to be in the UCL next season.

Leverkusen can definitely get rid of As Roma even though Roma have a lot of experience playing in the UEL, statistics are not needed what is needed now is luck and consistency which seems to be what xabi alonso will do to his team, I think this match will be an interesting match compared to Marseille and Atalanta because Many hope that Leverkusen can win the treble winner this season, at least it will make new history for Leverkusen, not only breaking Munich's dominance but making history for the first time treble winner this season for Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen is a great team that is doing well every where, in Bundesliga they are considered as the best team in the league no doubt about that and in the Europa League they are seeing as one of the best team that is fit of winning the league.  I really want Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga and europa league because they deserves it . If Roma and Bayer Leverkusen should meet in the finals I don't think Roma will be able to defeat Bayer Leverkusen because even in the Italian league Roma is not even in the top four best team for thus season but you can see that of Bayer Leverkusen doing well in Bundesliga,  even in europa league Bayer Leverkusen has performed better in their games.

The inconsistency has got to be one in a billion. It's already cleared up now, all the need do is go unbeaten in Bundesliga until the last days of the competition. They've already won the Bundesliga, all that's needed is for the league to be rounded up.
Xabi Alonso and the rest of the squad has done well. They have off course written down themz names in the history books as of the best sides to go unbeaten to this point.

I feel like As Roma despite whatever form they're in would hold down Bayern Leverkusen to a full-time draw game and I'm eighty percent sure and certain bout it.

Don't underestimate As Roma, they won against them last season to move to the finals. This season without Jose Mourinho would be totally different and I'm gonna see that happening.
It could be a Bayern Leverkusen and Marseille finals.

roma is out of the top 4 positions in series A because when they were under mourinho's command, roma lost a lot of points even when they played against weak teams, i believe that if roma were with Daniele De Rossi at that moment roma would be at least the team that would be in position 2 or 3 in series A. but Daniele De Rossi arrived a little late, now Roma can only fight for position number 4 and there are many complicated games ahead, not just the game against leverkusen that will be difficult. tomorrow roma will play against napoli who despite not being good this season, still have great power and could beat roma and that would affect roma in the table

Then Roma will have a game against Juventus and Atalanta, they are two strong teams. most of roma's good players come from injuries, so all these difficult series A games will wear out roma's players a lot, so it becomes very clear that roma will come into the game against leverkusen worn out, so i see leverkusen with bigger chances of winning. and talking about leverskusen, they continue their unbeaten streak in the bundesliga. There are already 46 games without Leverkusen having lost It will be very difficult for Roma to beat Leverkusen, but it is not impossible. That's because Leverkusen has had a weak defense, but has compensated with a good attack that scored a goal in the final minutes. If Roma has a good defense, they will win the game

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They have two tough encounters till the season is wrapped up where they'd face Juventus and Atalanta. Their two opponents over the years and recently respectively have proven to possess extreme fighting and contending abilities. They're very good competitors and they stand a victory chance when they both face Roma, thesame way Roma even if performing at an average pace can still prove to stay tough in games.

As far as I watched Roma in the Italian league, they have no chance against Leverkusen. Leverkusen is working like a machine this year. They fight until the last minute without knowing what it is like to lose. It's a great pleasure to watch their match. On the other hand, of course, Roma also have great matches under the management of De Rossi, but I think there is a difference in quality between them and Leverkusen will not be defeated in both matches.

I am of the opinion that we are all underestimating Roma, it is true that Leverkusen have shown that they are an unbeatable team, but it is also true that dry matches are difficult to predict. I believe we will see two great matches in this semifinal, and it will be in the balance until the end of the 180 minutes of these two matches! As an Italian I hope Roma will reach the final, but I am also aware that if Leverkusen wins, we can only congratulate them.

Yeah it's normal when almost everyone favors Leverkusen like you said they have a perfect record but sometimes things we never imagined can happen like when Atalanta beat Liverpool even though we know that Liverpool is predicted to be one of the teams that can reach the final but in fact Liverpool was eliminated in the quarter finals well, we don't know what will happen to Leverkusen in the next match there could be other scenarios, for example a penalty or a red card. This match will be played next week and the sportsbook has released betting markets for these 2 matches and I predict these 2 matches will end in a draw, we will see the decision in the second leg.

I'm leaning more towards them losing at this stage. After all, they often end their matches in a draw, it won't happen here, it's either them or Rome. Italian football is very different from German football, it is more complex, they are constantly building different methods of attack, and Bayer, including the whole German championship plays aggressive attack, they squeeze all the forces out of the opponent and finally crush him

In fact, they are a team that has always been in a position not far from their current position in the last few seasons, and even if they manage to finish in 5th position (based on their current position) that is their best finish in the last 3 years. De Rossi has also shown a good process so far, he can add a new color to AS Roma's game since he was appointed to replace Jose Mourinho.

AS Roma is focusing on 2 competitions, the first in Serie A and the second here, the European League. And in the European League they will face the most favorite team, Leverkusen. Their chances in the Europa League are no better than their opponents, but that will not prevent them from being able to do their best and advance to the final round, even though it is not an easy thing for them.

If they manage to beat Leverkusen, it will be an extraordinary thing, because this season it is very difficult to give Leverkusen a defeat.

We'll see what De Rossi can do next season, especially when he brings in newcomers who fit his team's criteria and needs. Talking about AS Roma, their probability of finishing in the top four in Serie A is still open. provided, Bologna lost in two of their matches, especially against Juventus and Napoli. However, that is if AS Roma is able to win the remaining 4 matches. Even so, AS Roma must work hard to make it happen. So, we'll see until Serie A ends. Well, currently De Rossi's focus is on the semifinal match of the Europa League competition. What is certain is that he will formulate tactics and strategies to win the match in the first leg with a fairly large goal margin. Even though this is not an easy job, AS Roma will not waste this opportunity. I'm sure De Rossi is well aware that his opposing team is a tough opponent and hasn't even lost yet. So, perhaps in this meeting between the two teams, AS Roma was luckier than Leverkusen. well, who knows, football is unique and full of possibilities.

Likewise with Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso will definitely not underestimate his opposing team. Moreover, last season Leverkusen was eliminated by AS Roma in the semifinal match. This match is a proving match for Alonso and his team, plus continuing their current unbeaten record. To ensure how the battle between AS Roma vs Leverkusen will continue, there are no other words other than waiting for the meeting between these two teams to be held.

[swogerino]

I think that Leverkussen is the team with the highest chances of winning it,they are not losing from I don't know how many games now and I doubt there is a team here in Europa League that can make them feel their first lost game.I know there are some good strong teams but honestly I don't see them being nowhere any good as Leverkussen during this season.I think Leverkussen motivation is quite high as they seem to be playing and fighting for real in any game in their local league despite everything being over there showing that their mentality is a winning one,I think for sure that they are the main favorites to win the Europa League title this season.

[wiss19]

Marseille is not strong team this season, in Ligue 1 they performed less consistently and experienced quite lot of bad results with defeats, but in the Europa League Marseille played quite well and they managed to survive until now they are in the semifinals.
But their opponent is Atalanta, which is also an unstable team in Serie A and Atalanta has also experienced quite lot of bad results with defeats, if assess the performance of the two teams in each domestic competition, they both have similarities.
It just that seeing the struggle of the two in the Europa League competition, I think Marseille will be far superior and it is possible that Marseille will succeed in qualifying for the final.
But considering that both of them have almost equal performance, it will be very difficult to judge who will advance to the final, but I sure that both of them will definitely play with full competition and try to beat each other quite fiercely.

For Leverkusen I really believe that they will win over Roma, everyone definitely makes Leverkusen the favorite and the bookies give very big edge to make Leverkusen the favorite in betting.
Everything has been organized from the start and Leverkusen will indeed become champions of the Europa League this season, they will win many titles in one season with truly very significant developments.

That inconsistency is the type of issue that teams have when they are playing at their league, but when it comes to a cup like this they may play much better. We have seen Sevilla not do well at their league so many times and yet still win this cup so many times as well. They are actually the team with most amount of europea league title in the world, and yet they never been that great at their league.

I think Marseille could be in the same boat right now, it looks like they are not all that great but at the same time we are talking about a team that lacks the talent as well. They could be good but their good may not be enough to beat their opponents. I believe that we are going to just end up with Atalanta beating them if they play like they did against Atalanta.

After seeing Atalanta able to get rid of Liverpool, of course the Serie A representatives now have good bargaining power to beat Marseille, so they have the potential to face Leverkusen in the final. It is clear that all teams have the potential to show very different performances between the Domestic League and the European League, Sevilla and their success in winning the Europa League trophy is relevant evidence of this.

The performance of Atalanta and Marseille in their respective domestic leagues is actually not much different, both teams are currently outside the Champions League zone, which indicates that both teams are less competitive than their competitors there. However, their difficulties in the domestic league have pushed them to act beyond expectations in the Europa League, where if they are able to win the Europa League trophy they will automatically play in the Champions League next season.

That is the main ambition of teams like Roma, Atalanta and Marseille who will fight tooth and nail in the Europa League, and situationally Leverkusen is lucky enough to have confirmed themselves as Bundesliga champions, which will automatically make them appear in the Champions League next season even if they fail in the Europa League. However, Leverkusen will be the team that has the greatest chance of winning the Europa League trophy this season, especially after Liverpool were eliminated in the previous round.

I am of the opinion that we are all in to predict. I believe we will see two great matches in this semifinal, and it will be in the balance until the end of the 180 minutes of these two matches! As an Italian I hope Roma will reach the final, but I am also aware that if Leverkusen wins, we can only congratulate them.

We should be careful because the level of the football have changed. AS Roma might look underrated but they have simply best performance. a can only portray few threats but when it comes to winning, just be mute and leave for Bayer Leverkussen to deliver a good job, it's usually a normal activity for them this current season. This is no debate because Bayer Leverkusen are in their prime, winning, they already have an idea of handling their opposition in simple space. Xabi Alonso will not lose matches because he has a target he's persuading and will not stop until he achieved.

I don't think that there will be any surprises on this week's European matches, unlike last two weeks. I believe the Leverkusen will win Roma, as they are the favorite to win this competition this season. Only one club disappointed us which was Liverpool, because they felt they are too strong to be defeated by Atalanta.

Leverkusen would reach the finals, and possibly win the trophy, because they are strong and consistent this season. They have never lost any match in all competitions. This is why I see them as winners already because they would love to end the season with an unbeaten record.

It depends on how they perform on the field because although Leverkusen is the favorite in this match but still too sure can also be a mistake that leads to losses. They must remember that this is a semi-final and indeed once they underestimate the opponent then it could be the same thing when they played against Qarabag in the round of 16 some time ago happened again in this semi-final.

Xabi must try even more for now especially apart from the treble target he wants to get at this time the record that Xabi has is still unbroken so seeing this of course Xai must continue to play consistently so that he can get maximum results at the end of this season.
The last few games they have always scored in extra time to keep their record on hold but this strategy cannot always be used because surely Roma also want a good result in the first leg this time.

There is a complete imbalance in Liverpool. After the defeat against Atalanta, the defeats in the league seem like they were eliminated from the Premier League, anyway. Xabi Alanso and his team are very comfortable, I think they can easily beat Roma.

Since De Rossi started to coach Roma, they have started to get better, but I think they are still not good enough in terms of play compared to Bayern Leverkusen. Today there was a match between Napoli and Rome, the match ended 2-2. Napoli is one of the lost teams this season, and in my opinion, Bayern Leverkusen is much better than Napoli this season, so I don't think there will be much of a problem against Rome.

[Weawant]

They fight until the last minute without knowing what it is like to lose. It's a great pleasure to watch their match. On the other hand, of course, Roma also have great matches under the management of De Rossi, but I think there is a difference in quality between them and Leverkusen will not be defeated in both matches.

Actually for the sake of benefits of doubts i do try not to totally write off Roma because i believe in football anything can happen at anytime and it wouldn't be what we expected to happen, Roma hasn't been really terrible but it's not looking good enough a form that can get them to successfully challenge Leverkusen to a victory in their game especially in the Europa that Leverkusen is looking to win.

Very definitely Leverkusen wants to add to their records this season the Europa title and Roman isn't a team that can easily stop them going by their form and strength seen so far, Leverkusen this season hasn't lost a single game in the Europa from the group stage up to the semi finals where they are now they have only had few draws but have been able to make sure they get to win all of their games so far I'm the Europa but Roma has been characterized with much of inconsistency in the Europa and even in their domestic league too aswell.

In the domestic league where Roma do play, it's become clear thst they get better chances only when they aren't playing against bigger team although they aswell want to win the Europa this season but then i doubt if they will be able to really contende Leverkusen and they should be lucky Liverpool is out els they would have had a tougher squad to contend because Liverpool at a time was very much in forme and were ready to win every team in the Europa.

On paper, Leverkusen has a chance to beat Roma easily, because De Rossi squad actually had quite a difficult time facing other big teams, which in my opinion was lucky for them to qualify for the semifinals because Milan really couldn't be relied on. This means that many people previously assumed that Milan would be able to beat Roma, as well as Liverpool, both teams experienced bad luck that we could never have imagined.

When compared with Roma, Leverkusen is on a different level, which we can easily identify through their consistency throughout this season. Roma was lucky to be saved by De Rossi, and has now developed for the better under his supervision. But their chances are quite low of advancing to the final even though they were finalists last season, Leverkusen with their current unbeaten record really deserves to be the favorite. Besides that, In my opinion Leverkusen will most likely win the Europa League trophy this season.

Just like you rightly said, Bayer Leverkusen on paper have is easily the favorite team to win their UEFA Europa League semi final tie against AS Roma because of their superior performance in all competitions this season but because of how impressive the Italian club have been since Daniele De Rossi took over the managerial position at the club, I don think it'll be good idea not to give the the German team a chance of pulling a surprise in the two legged tie. Roma since their current manager took over have been exceptionally impressive which is why they were able to eliminate a big club like AC Milan from the UEFA Europa League competition  so against Bayer Leverkusen, I think the Roma has chance of reaching the final
