UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[OcTradism]

Today is second leg of Europe League semifinal match, based on two matches only Bayern Leverkusen has easily or good capital result on first leg match after winning over Roma 2-0. Its very good capital because Bayern Leverkusen will play at home and being draw or loss under one goal enough qualify to final round.
So far difficult to beat Bayern Leverkusen as the only one team unbeaten in this season and want reach until 50 matches all competition without loss if can beat or being draw Roma today.

Leverkusen only need to do what they are always have done through this season, unbeaten, and they will beat Roma in aggregated result. If Leverkusen plays with their normality, they will send Roma back to Rome without a ticket for Europa League final match.

Leverkusen are stronger than Roma, have big advantage but they must be careful because carelessness and underestimate an opponent are starts of nightmare. I am sure if Leverkusen let Roma to make surprise, Roma will be able to secure it till the final whistle. Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso enjoyed the solid defense of Roma last season and they will not want to waste all advantage they have now, and fall to a situation of chasing Roma with serious defense from the Italian opponent.

Another semifinal second leg match between Atalanta vs Marseille, first leg both team being draw and its crucial indeed Atalanta playing as host team but their position not secure yet if Marseille can get winning on the away match.

They are quite equal in quality but I would like to pick Atalanta as a winner and a team will play in Europa League final match.

Personally, I have already added Bayer’s victory to my multi-bet with a handicap of -1 and odds of 2.30. This is a very daring multi-bet (total odds 30) so you shouldn’t take it seriously, but if I’m lucky today with a bet on Real Madrid, I’ll most likely make a single bet on the same outcome. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Bayer will tear Roma apart no matter what. I'm trying to find a rational justification for a possible positive outcome for Roma and I can't come up with one.

I appreciate your predictions and I thought betting on a handicap of -1 would be the best option, but sometimes I hate the results of matches on teams that already have an aggregate advantage in the first leg.
as currently Leverkusen is ahead by 2 aggregate scores and sometimes the team that is ahead usually always ends the match with a very surprising result.
for example Leverkusen could let Roma score 2 scores but Leverkusen will only score 1 score and that means overall Leverkusen will still qualify for the final round with 3 overall scores.
or maybe it could end in a 1-1 or 2-2 draw but still Leverkusen will still qualify for the final round.
this is what I'm worried about and what do you think regarding cases like this, is there a big possibility that Leverkusen will split the score and end the match with a draw?

Of course such a possibility exists, the question is what it is 
We will never know the exact numbers (since we have one unique event and there is no way to check it many times), so we can only make assumptions. Maybe I’m biased towards Roma, but I see them as a team that is a whole level lower than Bayer, that is, a score of 2-0 or 3-1 is what should be a natural outcome when playing in equal conditions (motivated team against motivated or unmotivated against unmotivated, etc.). In this case, I have no doubt about Bayer’s motivation - for them, the Europa League semi-final is not a routine (as for Real Champions League) but a great achievement and adrenaline, but I doubt Roma’s motivation - they understand their chances very well. Bayer won the game with Eintracht with a semi-reserve squad, which means that today they will play seriously and not wait until the 90 minutes are over.
In general, these are my thoughts and I, of course, could be wrong, but since Real won yesterday, I have free money and, as planned, I bet on Bayer to win with a handicap of -1.5 with odds of 2.35.

[kawetsriyanto]

I see no chance Roma will win this match, the match will held in BayArena and Leverkusen's players are fit, so there's no disadvantages on Leverkusen's side. The odds Leverkusen to win is only @1.50, but it's already good enough since this is a sure match.

Most people think the same, it will be very difficult to beat Leverkusen at their home. Moreover, Leverkusen is in a great performance recently. All the players have big motivation to win Europa league trophy to win treble winners. If they can win it, they also have a chance to finish this season with 0 defeat in all competitions. It makes senses if Leverkusen is favored to qualify for the next round. They are leading with 2 goals, they have the advantage for the match today.

While Atalanta vs Marseille, both of them having good results in their recent matches, it's quite risky to bet. Perhaps both teams to score yes is worth to risk.

It is true that Atalanta showed good results in the few latest matches. But Marseille performed not really convincing, they only won a single match from the last 5 matches in domestic league. Even if Marseille could dominate the match in Leg 1, it is probably different for the next match in Leg 2. It will be at Atalanta stadium, Atalanta players will play more comfortable there. Personally, I will prefer choosing Atalanta to win the match and qualify for the final round. I guess, we will have Leverkusen vs Atalanta in the final of UEL 2024.

[Uruhara]

It would take a miracle to score three goals without reply against Leverkusen, Roma will of course try as hard as they can but that is impossible to happen considering Leverkusen current performance. Leverkusen's greatness this season makes it very difficult for other clubs to beat them, their very strong defense is one of the success factors in maintaining their unbeaten record.
In the last 10 matches, only Stuttgart was able to score two goals in one match, in the rest they only conceded one goal. Leverkusen is almost certain to qualify for the final, they only need a draw in the second leg to maintain their chances of winning the Treble.

Since Leverkusen was coached by Xabi Alonso, we have seen a rapid increase in the club's performance. Leverkusen changed from being just a club that was almost relegated to a club that is very respected and even won the title this season thanks to having a great coach like Xabi Alonso there. So it will indeed be very difficult for even Roma to score 2 goals against Leverkusen. Because even if it is successful, I am sure Leverkusen will also reply to the goal quickly. Leverkusen really only needs a draw. Or even if Leverkusen loses 0-1, it will still make Leverkusen qualify for the final. it was clear that Rome was at a serious disadvantage this time. Because they suffered quite a crushing defeat in the first leg. So hopes in this second leg are very slim.

Despite trying with all their might, this will not change anything as Roma will not be able to beat Leverkusen or reverse the previous 2 point aggregate. I think it's just a mental problem where Roma only got up some time ago while Leverkusen have faced opponents who made them difficult so they have got that winning mentality to this day.

It would be an impressive end to the season if Leverkusen still doesn't lose this season and it will set a record that no other club will be able to break. The most important thing now is that we have to look forward to this match and cheer for both teams to put on an interesting game.

It seems that Leverkusen will play defensively because they will not experience defeat either, as much as possible they will win the UEL title this season and maintain their record as an undefeated team this season, as well as making history for them winning the UEL title, Bundesliga and also the DFB cup which seems to be they will be treble winners this season if they manage to beat As Roma or hold As Roma to a draw to qualify for the final. I know that it is difficult for As Roma to win by three goals against Leverkusen because the aggregate difference of two goals is difficult to catch.

Leverkusen may currently be focusing on the UEL because in the Bundesliga they have won a trophy, but even so they are still maintaining their consistency by playing as hard as possible so as not to lose because so far Leverkusen have never been defeated, Xabi Alonso is truly a great coach and is truly capable of bringing Leverkusen making history, next season there will be an even tougher challenge for Leverkusen, namely playing in the UCL, which of course is a very different class from the UEL because they have to face strong teams in Europe.

It would be an impressive end to the season if Leverkusen still doesn't lose this season and it will set a record that no other club will be able to break. The most important thing now is that we have to look forward to this match and cheer for both teams to put on an interesting game.

I agree to the fact that Leverkusen will be actually setting a really good record with their winnings this match and eventually the Europa trophy and ofcourse it will be seen as a very big credit to their name and the team as a whole and even to Germany for producing a team that could set such a record that has not been see regularly in the Europa league but have been seen happen only a few times in the Europa

Its actually a record that other team can get to break tho it may get to take time but then it's not going to be such that will not be broken by any other team because even before now othe teams have been able to set similar tough records and it has aswell been broken by other teams though it took some time but then eventually they got to break the record but I'm optimistic about this that Leverkusen is setting that they are definitely going to take a very long time before it will get broken by anyone in the Europa league as I can say for sure the last time a team was able to stay in beaten in the league till the end and actually got to win the trophy staying in unbeaten.

More uniquely will be if Leverkusen finally gets to finish the season totally staying unbeaten both in the Europa, but bundesliga, and finally the dfb polka then we could say it's one of the rare records because they didn't only stay unbeaten but they won all of these trophies aswell which I think it's not very common in the history of European football that a team win three trophies from three different leagues and were unbeaten in the three leagues aswell.

No doubt things are going amazing for the Bayer Leverkusen in this season with they are near to having double in this season after winning Bundesliga now having advantage in UEFA Europa League semifinal for the going into final having success like this is big achievement but still we need, they keep this momentum and also achieve their finances which keep them at this level for years not for just one season with after this surely they are going to have challenges and with this all need to be stayed at this level is not easy.
Roma concede two goals at home and now try to have something which is looking not easy, while Bayer Leverkusen are having good defensive strategy and their quality is also at the top for this season.

[QueenVera]

Leverkusen will not be stupid enough to miss the opportunity that is in front of them now, they have the upper hand now in the European League, so it would be very disappointing if they had to fail because of their own mistakes. I predict they will succeed in becoming European League champions this season, with all the advantages they have now, it means other teams have a smaller chance than them. Xabi Alonso has certainly prepared his team as well as possible to achieve success in the European League this season.

I don't imagine that they will be as strong a team this season. Yes, because they weren't a very special team before, and even if we remember in the previous season they had to stumble at the start of the season because they were at the bottom of the table. However, management's decision to appoint Xabi bore fruit, and we can see that now. They managed to become champions in the Bundesliga and they also have a big chance of becoming champions in the European League. And I think they will achieve the treble winner this season.

It would be quite disappointing if Leverkusen flops on this opportunity to win the European League as even their manager  Xabi Alonso has been able to ensure they have an upper hand over other opponents. Well it's something that's more than impossible. Prior to management appointing Xabi, the team were not necessarily considered special because in the previous season, they appeared at the bottom of the table.

 They've managed to come out as champions in the Bundesliga, and hopefully, they turn out champions in the European League and also this season's treble winner. Leverkusen's qualification to the semi finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to West ham. This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf.

 Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously. Roma themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage.

[Razmirraz]

In football everything is possible to happen but we also have to be realistic in looking at the two teams before making predictions. In my opinion, for those who are still optimistic about Roma being able to win in the second leg, there is no harm, maybe some people are looking at the other side, but what It must be realized that this is a very small percentage.

Bayer Leverkusen is an unbeaten team this season, their performance is quite extraordinary and after what happened in the first leg when Bayer Leverkusen managed to win by 2 goals when playing at home to AS Roma then realistically Bayer Leverkusen will also do the same or better when they play at home.
Regarding motivation to win the match, I think every team competing will have the same motivation.

Even though I am a Roma supporter, I don't dare to place a bet on Roma because the odds percentage is very small. Roma started the match under pressure after losing the first leg, while Leverkusen could play more relaxed because they only needed a draw to qualify for the final. It's not easy to score three goals against Leverkusen in one match, even a team like Bayern Munich couldn't do it this season when the two teams met in the Bundesliga.
Leverkusen really want to get rid of Roma this time because they want to avenge their defeat last season, their failure to advance to the final due to being knocked out by Roma in the semifinals, this time Leverkusen will knock Roma out as revenge for their failure last season.

Despite trying with all their might, this will not change anything as Roma will not be able to beat Leverkusen or reverse the previous 2 point aggregate. I think it's just a mental problem where Roma only got up some time ago while Leverkusen have faced opponents who made them difficult so they have got that winning mentality to this day.

It would be an impressive end to the season if Leverkusen still doesn't lose this season and it will set a record that no other club will be able to break. The most important thing now is that we have to look forward to this match and cheer for both teams to put on an interesting game.

No one thought that AS Roma would be able to reach the final, because their journey was very difficult to do that. They have to face a club that is unbeaten and not only that, they will also be faced with the fact that they have to start the match with a 2 goal defeat because Leverkusen won 2-0 in the first leg.

AS Roma will have to work hard and it will probably depend on their luck too, because it is not easy to make Leverkusen concede at least 2 goals to make the score equal first. Xabi Alonso and his troops have prepared this as well as possible, especially as they also have a better mentality after their success in the Bundesliga this season. They no longer have a burden in the Bundesliga, in contrast to AS Roma who still have to fight to get the best place in the final Serie A standings. They have to divide their focus into two at once and this is not something easy.

It sounds like Mission Impossible for AS Roma. Leverkusen haven't tasted defeat in 48 games (all competitions) and managed to win 2-0 in Rome, so everything seems nicely stacked in their favour.
The odds for the Leverkusen to go through are as low as it gets at x1.01. Betting on Roma you could get x18.0
Strangely enough, I think the chances for AS Roma could be in Bayer getting overconfident and approaching the game as if they have already won.
Maybe putting few quids/bucks/sats on Italians just for a laugh is not a bad idea.

Roma can't beat Leverkusen in their away match tonight, the only opportunity Roma has to beat Leverkusen is in the first leg, and they were already down with 2 goals. Leverkusen is quite strong at this point, and Roma was unable to beat them at home. Although anything is possible in football, but Roma cannot break their unbeaten record because Bayer Leverkusen has faced better opponents than Roma. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting Roma to get defeated at home during the first leg match, Roma is strong enough to win the game but I don't know why they performed so poorly, conceding two goals.

Roma will end their Europa League journey today, since Leverkusen doesn't know whether they are playing away or home, they can beat their opponents anywhere. Even in their last Bundesliga game, I was shocked by the goals they scored against Frankfurt, the same team that defeated Bayern Munich this season. I believe if Leverkusen keep playing this way, they will win their treble this season.

[temple]

Now it's up to Xabi for the second leg whether they play it safe or whether they want to show the difference in strength against Roma.

Leverkusen's advantages now multiply quite large where in addition to the second leg Leverkusen will play home, they also have an aggregate advantage which must be a little difficult for Roma to pursue, especially the atmosphere at BayArena will definitely make the mentality of the Roma players a little disturbed by the many Leverkusen fans present.

With this condition Xabi will have the upper hand and it is not impossible that he can do what he wants by playing aggressively as usual especially for now their midfield is still very solid but indeed if they want to play safe it is actually not a problem as long as they do not let the safe scheme actually make them lose momentum because sometimes playing safe is a little more difficult than doing an offensive scheme like Leverkusen used to do.

Absolutely, but I remember the game against Qarabağ FK. Out of a sudden that team was able to take the lead against an overwhelming Leverkusen team. Right now nobody would bet against Leverkusen for good reasons as they are indeed stronger, but I think if Roma can score a goal in that game, Leverkusen could get nervous. If the game goes as expected, Roma won't have a chance. But this doesn't mean that the game doesn't have to be played. It is still a step that Leverkusen has to take. Winning 0-2 away from home is of course huge.

When playing against Qarabag in the Round of 16, it seems that Leverkusen looked too weak at Qarabag because the quality was below them, besides that the confidence shown by Leverkusen was so great that they forgot about Qarabag, which actually backfired on them.

But for now they must have learned that underestimating a club is a mistake and they certainly should not do that for now so as I said before, now it depends on how the decision Xabi will take later whether they will try to maintain the condition where their natural scheme is with a fast offensive or play more safe because all scenarios have consequences and they must be aware that Roma will also play hard in this second leg even though Roma are playing away because after all this is the last chance for Roma to get the trophy and as much as possible they will try harder to turn things around in the second leg this time.

There best choice can only be to go all out and play their very high speed type of football. It's not their style to now slow down and hope that it is enough to have scored 2 goals against Roma. I think they would be best advised to attack in this game. They have so much quality that Roma is the team having issues in that game, not Leverkusen. Roma needs a lucky game against Leverkusen.

Against Qarabag it was a shocker though and I am pretty sure that Xabi Alonso thought that this was it. When they conceded the second goal I thought it was over and then they came back with a goal in 93' and 97'. Lol, it doesn't go like that all the time so they better make sure to not allow Roma do too many things against them.

Atalanta vs. Marseille could turn into a thriller. Better chances for Atalanta, but not by much.

[hahay]

No one thought that AS Roma would be able to reach the final, because their journey was very difficult to do that. They have to face a club that is unbeaten and not only that, they will also be faced with the fact that they have to start the match with a 2 goal defeat because Leverkusen won 2-0 in the first leg.

Bayer Leverkusen is not overly satisfied and neither is Bayer Leverkusen complacent about their excellent results obtained thisseason. Because afterall, the reality is that Bayer Leverkusen still manages to continue winning in the Bundesliga despite the fact that Bayer Leverkusen has already won the Bundesliga trophy. So, because Bayer Leverkusen is still able to not get carried away with thesuccess it has had so far this season, then surely Bayer Leverkusen will still play well for the second leg. Bayer Leverkusen is completely different from other successful teams, because when other teams succeed then those other teams will be complacent about their success and underestimate the opponent, but Bayer Leverkusen is not like that.So yes,because Bayer Leverkusen are not complacent about winning the first leg,then I sure Bayer Leverkusen will still play well in the second leg which will be played at home.

[junder]

It would take a miracle to score three goals without reply against Leverkusen, Roma will of course try as hard as they can but that is impossible to happen considering Leverkusen current performance. Leverkusen's greatness this season makes it very difficult for other clubs to beat them, their very strong defense is one of the success factors in maintaining their unbeaten record.
In the last 10 matches, only Stuttgart was able to score two goals in one match, in the rest they only conceded one goal. Leverkusen is almost certain to qualify for the final, they only need a draw in the second leg to maintain their chances of winning the Treble.

That's true, maybe Roma needs a miracle to be able to win by scoring a goal and blocking Leverkusen from scoring, but that is very unlikely or even impossible to happen as you say. Of course Leverkusen will not allow Roma to score a goal in their goal. also with their undoubted performance this can make them confident to be able to face Roma. with their first leg match having won by two goals, Roma will have difficulty if they have to score even one goal.

Also, I'm not sure that Roma can turn things around, even if that happens it might be a surprise. However, in the second leg with Leverkusen, if the match ends in a draw, they will qualify for the final. It's not easy to score against Leverkusen, especially three goals. but what is certain is that Roma will do what is best for their team, on the other hand Leverkusen will not give Roma a chance.
with the second leg match later, there is nothing that can make Leverkusen lose, I think Leverkusen can still win.

[hyudien]

At the same time we will see the match between Atalanta vs Marseille. In the first leg, Atalnta successfully held Marseille to a draw when playing away from home. Now it's Atalanta's turn to act as host. This is an advantage for them, because I think a draw in the first leg was their target, and they succeeded in getting it.
Atalanta's chances are better than Marseille's in this match, so I think they will be in the Europa League final this season. However, they should not underestimate Marseille at all, because Marseille is also very likely to give them a defeat and prevent them from being in the final.
One of them will most likely face Leverkusen in the final match, because Leverkusen are now 2 goals ahead on aggregate in the first leg at AS Roma headquarters, and now they will play in their own stadium and will get full support from the fans.

[masulum]

Roma will end their Europa League journey today, since Leverkusen doesn't know whether they are playing away or home, they can beat their opponents anywhere. Even in their last Bundesliga game, I was shocked by the goals they scored against Frankfurt, the same team that defeated Bayern Munich this season. I believe if Leverkusen keep playing this way, they will win their treble this season.

This match is like a formality match. With an aggregate of 2 goals that AS Roma must meet, this becomes a mission impossible. Leverkusen, with its defensive strength in all competitions, made Roma opportunity to score 3 goals without conceding to qualify for the next rounds, look like they could not see this opportunity being obtained.

Of course, Roma must not give up even though they have to play for this mission. We know that luck exists, and we can already found the similar conditions from the many matches where the matches are more difficult than AS Roma, but the underdog can win the match beyond expectations.

[pawel7777]

I'm not saying that Leverkusen don't have their minds in the right place, but after miracle draws against Dortmund (scored equaliser in 90+7) and against Stuttgart (scored equaliser in 90+6) it might be hard for the players not to fall into some sort of delusion and believe it's their destiny to not get defeated this season.
After all the success this season, the fact they took  2-0 win in an away game, and the fact that everyone (even in this thread) considers this game to be just a formality - it might be hard for Leverkusen's players to stay humble and 100% focussed.
But I hope they go through and win the final. That would be their first European cup since 1988, so nice addition to their first ever Bundesliga title.

[Palakka]

Maybe putting few quids/bucks/sats on Italians just for a laugh is not a bad idea.

Leverkusen will welcome Roma with high motivation later at home after winning 2-0 in the first leg, what you said is true, for now Roma come in with a poor performance after they lost the first leg, Roma also got a negative result in Serie A last week after they were held to a draw by Juventus,  While Leverkusen will welcome Roma with their unbeaten record this season and of course Leverkusen have great motivation to continue to extend that record to be able to create a new record for now, beating leverkusen is certainly mission impossible for Roma at the moment although they still have hope of turning things around in the second leg.

Although impossible of course we cannot exclude all possibilities that can happen in football, because sometimes surprises can occur in a match from a team that has been considered underdogs, but even so, I and you may have the same thought if in the second leg Bayern leverkusen will beat Roma again to reach the final round and even most likely will be able to win the Europa League champion trophy this season.
