Possible lineups for Roma versus Bayer Leverkusen update
Possible lineups for Roma versus Bayer Leverkusen: The upcoming Europa League semi-finals feature a closely matched tie between Jose Mourinho’s Roma and Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen. The first leg will take place at the Stadio Olimpico di Roma.
Currently, Roma is struggling to find form, having gone winless in their last four matches and sitting in seventh place in Serie A, fighting for qualification to the UEL 2022/2023. Meanwhile, Leverkusen has improved significantly since the start of the season and, though they have only won two of their last five games, they are currently sixth in the Bundesliga and in contention for European competition next season.
