Reason for AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions
Roma have not won in their last four matches. After a spectacular extra-time win over Feyenoord in the Europa League quarter-finals, Roma have had a difficult schedule of late, with more than half of their starters injured. First, we saw Roma lose 3-1 to Atalanta, and from that game started an unfortunate streak. Then they played 1-1 against Milan, followed by a 1-1 draw against Monza before losing 0-2 at home to Inter on Saturday night. Mourinho’s problems continue as he will be without several of his best players due to injuries. 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. Kumbulla is out for the hosts, while Paulo Dybala, Georgino Wijnaldum, Chris Smalling, and Andrea Belotti are all having minor health issues.
Bayer Leverkusen ended their 14-match unbeaten streak on Friday night, losing 1-2 at home to FC Köln. It was the biggest problem in the previous round of the Bundesliga and something that upset Bayer Leverkusen fans. Not only did their favorites lose before the game on Thursday, but also the fact that their minus for the first four places in the championship is currently even bigger. The chances of Bayer Leverkusen securing the Champions League next season have been reduced to a minimum. Leverkusen has not been defeated in nine consecutive away games, and in the previous five, we saw that they kept a goal on four occasions. It is a novelty compared to the early stage of the season when Leverkusen’s games were quite efficient, with goals at both ends. 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. Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunev, and Charles Aranguiz are all out for the guests, who are already used to playing without this trio.
Conclusion
It will be an interesting match, and Bayer Leverkusen is not without a chance to remain undefeated. However, we believe that Roma should live up to expectations and win.
A big fight between these two teams is expected, and from a statistical point of view, the realistic prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals.
