    In order for Roma to reach the final of the Europa League, they will have to do what other teams that have faced Bayern Leverkusen have failed to do this season, that is to defeat them. This will make Roma the first team to defeat Leverkusen this season.


    Bayern Leverkusen and Roma have played each other five times, with Roma winning twice, Leverkusen winning once and both teams settling for a draw twice. Leverkusen's win came in their most recent encounter where they won 2-0 in the first leg of the Europa league semi final on 2nd May,2024.


    Bayern Leverkusen currently don't have any injury problems and look set for the semi final with all odds looking to be in their favour. Florian Wirtz and Alejandro Grimaldo were given days off to rest while Victor Boniface and Jeremie Frimpong came off the bench in their recent match against Eintracht Frankfurt which they won 5-1.

    Roma also look to be clear from injuries with Paulo Dybala who was substituted at half time against his former team Juventus expected to be fit enough to feature in the game against Leverkusen.  De Rossi didn't rest his key attackers against Juventus during the 1-1 draw on Sunday, but heavily rotated his backline.
