The opponents are about equal in strength, so this semi-final series will be quite interesting. Roma are not in great form at the moment - after beating Feyenoord in Serie A, Roma have played 4 games (2 draws and 2 defeats). Thus, the Romans find themselves in 7th place in the standings, so it will be easier for Roma to qualify for the UEFA Champions League through a win in the UEFA Europa League.
Bayer are also not in great form; in their last meeting, the Lions unexpectedly lost to Koln. Thus, Bayer have also aggravated their position in the Bundesliga, and can now only qualify for the UEFA Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League.
There is no clear favourite in this match, but Bayer score and concede quite a lot in the Europa League, so goals from both sides are likely today.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.99
