Leverkusen find themselves 2-0 up from the first leg, with one foot in the final. Already crowned champions of the Bundesliga and on a record-breaking 48-game run, anyone thinking they will let their foot off the gas might want to think again, after their 5-1 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt on the weekend.

Roma aren’t in great form with just one win in their last five games. They’ve won just twice away from home in Europe this season and need to score twice without reply to a team who haven’t lost in 48 games.

⚔️ Bayer Leverkusen v Roma Head-to-Head

The two sides have met on seven competitive occasions. Last year Roma saw off the Leverkusen challenge in the semi-finals of the Europa League before losing to Sevilla in the final. Across all European competitions, they are evenly matched, with 2 wins apiece and 3 draws.

The first leg was an enterprising affair with both sides showing their capabilities in the attacking third. Roma failed to convert from the 1.46 xGF they mustered, with Leverkusen showing their clinical edge to net twice from 2.11 xGF. On the whole, the Bundesliga champions demonstrated why they have been so hard to beat this season as they won the shot count 19-8 in the Italian capital.

📊 Bayer Leverkusen Form and Stats

Leverkusen’s sensational form will make grim reading for Roma fans. They are the highest scorers still left in the competition with 25 goals and have conceded just 8 in their 10 Europa League games. They’ve won all 5 of their home games so far and at 2.11 xGF have the second-highest xG figures in the competition. Their home ground is a fortress, with them conceding a paltry 0.6 goals per game at the BayArena. Bayern Munich are a distant 15 points away at second place in the Bundesliga with just two games to play. A historic first league title for Die Werkself is already in the bag and the team will be focused on a potential treble with the German Cup and Europa League still on the table.

📊 Roma Form and Stats

Roma were a touch unfortunate to come out of their last game with Juventus with a draw and this will give them encouragement going into this game, but their away form is patchy and they’ve won just 2 of their 6 away games in Europe this season. Their xGF in the competition is at 1.17 per game, which matches up to their average of just 1.1 goals away from home on the continent. Needing to win this game by at least 2 goals to even force the tie into extra time, the Giallorossi have managed to score twice or more in just 30% of their games this season. This is in contrast to Leverkusen’s 70%. In fact, Roma have failed to score in one out of every five games in 2023/24 and Leverkusen haven’t failed to score in a single game all year.

💰 Bayer Leverkusen v Roma Best Bets 

It would take a brave person to bet against a team that has swept away everyone in their path all season and the bookies odds of 1.53 for Leverkusen to win the game reflect that. Based on the evidence of the previous game, Leverkusen were in full control and, in front of a raucous crowd, it will be extremely difficult to overcome them.

However, they won’t be looking to sit back and will be fully confident in their ability to take the game to the Romans. We expect spaces to open up and we should be treated to a few goals. Despite their lack of goals this season, Roma still have the firepower to grab a consolation goal or make things a little more uncomfortable for Leverkusen so our best bet is Leverkusen to win and both teams to score at 2.91 at Paddy Power. Don’t have an account, see the Paddy Power new customer offers here.

If Roma are to score, Romelu Lukaku seems the likeliest candidate with his seven goals in the competition this year and all the big match experience that he brings Romelu Lukaku to score anytime at 3.50 at Betfair is worth our responsible stake. We’ve chosen Betfair for these odds, see why with our Betfair review.
