Bayer Leverkusen
In the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen is currently out of place in the European qualifiers, behind sixth-placed Wolfsburg, with only two games to go. While a place in the Europa League or the Conference League is still in place, if Bayer Leverkusen wants to play in the Champions League next season, they will need to win the Europa League. Leverkusen have won five of their last seven matches on home soil. Adam Hlozek enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes toward the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Moussa Diaby is the best player on the team, he is excellent in the penalty area, and the fans adore him. Leverkusen’s Robert Andrich, Odilon Kossounou, Andrey Lunev, and Patrik Schick will miss this match as a result of injury. Xabi Alonso remained several key players against Stuttgart, with Adam Hlozek and Florian Wirtz among those who got limited minutes over the weekend.
AS Roma
If Roma manages to avoid defeat, they will reach their second European final in as many years. A lot of criticism came at Jose Mourinho’s account after the weekend’s 0-0 draw with Bologna. The Italians, just like Leverkusen, had trouble winning, and the victory in the first game was the only success in the last six games. The Giallorossi are even worse away from home, with only one win in the previous eleven matches. They avoided defeat in the last two games away from home. Lorenzo Pellegrini enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes toward the goal, the opponent has problems because he passes through the defense like a fast train. Bryan Cristante plays great and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. Zeki Celik was withdrawn with an injury in the 54th minute of Roma’s last game. He could miss this tie together with Chris Smalling, Stephane El Shaaraway, and Diego Llorente.
