Bayer Leverkusen vs Roma Predictions


Bayer Leverkusen haven’t lost in 46 matches this season and beat Roma 2-0 in the first leg. The Bundesliga champions are too short here, my money on under 2.5 goals in Germany.

Stats


  • Bayer Leverkusen have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches (Europa League).
  • Bayer Leverkusen have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Roma. 
  • Roma have failed to score in their last 2 matches against Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Roma have seen under 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 11 away matches (Europa League).

Head to Head


Roma have a 2-2 record against Bayer Leverkusen with 3 draws in 7 matches.

Bayer Leverkusen Form


Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in 46 matches this season. They have claimed their first Bundesliga title, are into the German Cup final and are on the verge of reaching the Europa League final.

Xabi Alonso’s side got past West Ham in the Europa League quarter-finals, a 2-0 win in Germany followed by a 1-1 draw in England.

The Werkself returned to the Bundesliga with a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund and 2-2 draw against Stuttgart, equalising deep into added time on both occasions. They deservedly won 2-0 at Roma in the Europa League semi-final first leg, Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich on target in Italy.

Leverkusen are coming off a commanding 5-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt. They were efficient in front of goal where Granit Xhaka, Patrik Schick, Exequiel Palacios, Jeremie Frimpong and Victor Boniface found the net.

Bayer Leverkusen Injuries


Alonso has a full strength side available.

Roma Form


Roma have won one of their last five matches, starting with a 3-1 defeat against Bologna. Bryan Cristante scored late to secure a 2-1 win at Udinese, Tammy Abraham then scoring late to earn a 2-2 draw at Napoli.

Daniele De Rossi’s saw his side lose 2-0 at home against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-final first leg. Romelu Lukaku hit the woodwork but they can have few complaints about the defeat in Italy.

Roma drew 1-1 against Juventus on Sunday. Lukaku opened the scoring in the 15th minute but it was 1-1 at half-time, a draw a fair result.

Roma Injuries


Argentine forward Paulo Dybala is doubtful.

Verdict

Bayer Leverkusen haven’t lost this season and beat Roma 2-0 in Italy. The Bundesliga champions have little incentive to open up here, under 2.5 goals the play in the semi-final second leg.
