Roma and Bayer Leverkusen will lock horns in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday, with the Italians having the edge at home. Roma have experience at this stage of the competition and have won their last four home matches in the competition.

The hosts go into this match as the favourites at 11/10 with Betfred while the Bundesliga side are 13/5 to pick their first win against Italian opposition in six meetings and a draw is 9/4. Jose Mourinho’s men have not been in the best of form lately failing to win on their last four outings and sit outside the European spots in Serie A, but the Europa League has served as a welcome distraction.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have been impressive in the competition and have claimed four wins and a draw from their last five matches. However, their recent form has been slightly erratic and they travel to the Stadio Olimpico off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Cologne. The Germans will be feeling confident ahead of the clash, but it is Roma who have the edge at home.

Tips

• Roma to win and over 2.5 goals - 13/5

• Moussa Diaby to score anytime - 11/4
