Against Leverkusen on the third of May, I think Roma is definitely going to feel the pressure. Because they also have to care about the Serie A as well. But I guess it is not going to be that much of a problem as it is the semifinals of the Europa League competition, they will have two matches to actually have a good aggregate score. I would definitely be lying if I said that Leverkusen is not the better team going into this match. They are definitely the better opponent and as they also do not have to care about the Bundesliga anymore, I think they can put all their efforts and resources into winning the Europa League now.
People might say that it is important for them to keep a lossless streak in the Bundesliga. But I think winning the Europa League competition is more important than that. But on the other hand, Roma will have to worry about the Italian they lose too many matches in the Italian league, they will finish in the sixth position and probably not take part in the Europa League or any European competition. Roma might think that they will try to win the Europa League competition and not care about the Italian league. In that way, they will play in the Europa League anyway. But I don’t think that is a realistic plan to have
This is a semifinal match, both teams will give their best in this match and it must be admitted that Leverkusen is a very strong team but Roma cannot be underestimated either.
In this first leg match, Roma will play at home and this should be an advantage that they can take advantage of to make Agg easier for them in the second leg. Even though it is difficult, the opportunity is still there and I am sure this match will be very fierce.
The team's priorities for the domestic league and Europa League are clearly different and it must be admitted that Leverkusen has a slight advantage because they have succeeded in securing the Bundesliga title so now they can focus fully on the Europa League competition and this is in contrast to Roma who are still struggling in the Serie competition. A to be able to fulfill their target, namely finishing in the top 4 and now this is getting further away because of the series of less than optimal results they have gotten.
