UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think Xabi doesn't think that calmly about the Europa League, for the first time he will definitely maximize what he might be able to take advantage of, Xabi is unlikely to let his players off guard because they are too confident that they have got the best position at this time because they won 2-0 in the first leg, especially on the occasion of this match being at their own home, of course Xabi will not let them be allowed on their own home by As Roma, it is a pride.

An unbeaten record will be a very good history for him if he wins the league, this will be interesting for himself, the Odds that Bayer gets will indeed be very small because we have seen it in the first leg, it is impossible for As Roma to get more confidence in the second leg, especially in this match it is very favorable for Bayer Leverkusen.

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.

I don't see this as an act of revenge for Leverkusen, but I will see it as Leverkusen's full ability this season so that it will be quite easy for Leverkusen to eliminate AS Roma in the semi-finals of this season's Europa League in the second leg. Because apart from Leverkusen not having to win to get rid of AS Roma in the second leg, competing at home will also be a pleasure for Leverkusen who will play with an extraordinary performance in the second leg. And after successfully qualifying for the final, I no longer see another team capable of holding Leverkusen to win the Europa League trophy this season.

I'm the same as you, namely I don't dare to bet on Roma in this match even though I always prefer Roma. Because I always like teams from Italy. But this time, realistically, Leverkusen will be much more favored than Roma. And Leverkusen does have defeats to avenge since last season. Well, last season Leverkusen also lost in the European League to Roma. And even in the past Leverkusen was also stopped by Roma in the group phase of the Champions League. So beating Roma will definitely be the most extraordinary achievement for Leverkusen this season. Because apart from being able to qualify for the Final, we know that Leverkusen will also hold a grudge against the defeats they suffered since last season in the European League and in the past in the Champions League.

I don't think anything strange will happen in today's match and Roma will win. Roma players can't perform well in the home match against Leverkusen. The Roma team was defeated by a margin of 2-0 in the match. Now I don't think Roma will win the away match by more than 2 goals. I expect Leverkusen to win today's match as well. I predict that this team will remain undefeated this season.

Leverkusen have been performing strangely this season. The team went undefeated in the Bundesliga, and dominated to win the Bundesliga title. And the Europa League title will also be easily won by Leverkusen. Because this team is in great form right now. The players are also very confident.

Ancellotti did it again.
Real Madrid achieved a miracle last night due to the way the match went.

In the final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmound, if Ancellotti managed to win it would be his fifth Champions League as a coach, incredible even if he has obviously been coaching for 20 years and almost always in Real Madrid's golden moments.

To be fair he won two with Real Madrid but he won two with Milan as well so we can say that he is a good manager that ends up managing good teams. Why would he have a situation where he wins the UCL with a team that nobody expected to win?

If you are a great manager then they will hire you at a great team. Look at how they have been at Real Madrid since he took over, last season wasn't great because he lost both the league and the UCL as well, but previous year was great for them and this year has been great for them as well. He loses some players and still manages to win, hell they didn't had a proper striker all season long, sure Joselu gave them the Finals last night but at the same time we need to see that all season long they didn't play many games with him. Ancelotti is great, that is the reason he manages great teams.

Carlo Ancelotti will meet Edin Terzic in the UCL final and we simply knows what it means for Real Madrid to be in the final. Their winning odds are higher than expected. Carlo Ancelotti did it again and this time with Real Madrid, he's one of the greatest manager in football. He's experienced and equipped with managerial patterns to implement for elite clubs, he knows the specific dimensional threats of his team and will always do well to make structures suitable for his club.

Bayer Leverkusen, the already-crowned champions of the German Bundesliga, may break their all-time unbeaten streak against AS Roma in the UEFA Europa League semifinal second leg on tonightday. Bayer Leverkusen extended their unbeaten run to 48 games on Sunday, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Bundesliga to equal the record set by Portuguese club Benfica between 1963 and 1965.

Why do you believe that Bayern Leverkusen will break their good result tonight against Roma. You should remember they have already won Roma in the first leg at Italy. Now the match is in Germany, why do you believe that Alonso and his boys will lose tonight. Let's watch how it goes, but whatever be the outcome, I am sure that Bayern Leverkusen is qualifying tonight and possibly the will be the champions of the Europa League. I am patiently waiting to see Alonso and his boys in the next season Champions League. It will be joy to watch...

[Zanab247]

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.

I'm confidently with my prediction for the favor of Atalanta to end this game with 2:0, because they played well to qualified for the semi-final  which is the advantage they will use to achieve victory from Marseille in this game today.

If Atalanta coach can make use of the players that started the first leg in the home of Marseille to start this game, I guess they will not find it difficult to secure goals from this game because the two teams will prepare to face each other to prove their performance.

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.

Based on what Atalanta has used their home to eliminated many teams in this season, I guess they will be the favourable team that will meet Bayer Leverkusen in the final stage , but Bayer Leverkusen will be the team to lift this UEFA Europa league trophy because they have what it take to win the trophy from their opponent.
