AS Roma vs Leicester – Roma and Leicester City will battle it out for a place in the Europa Conference League final at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday. The Italians took an early lead but Brendan Rodgers’ side equalised in the second half to force a replay.

Roma advanced to the Europa Conference League semi-finals after overcoming Bodo/Glimt in the previous round.The Portuguese had already lost 6-1 to Norway in the group stage. They fell 2-1 in the first leg before thrashing them 4-0 in Italy.

To book their semi-final tie with Leicester City, the Giallorossi travelled to England for the first leg last week.In the 15th minute, Lorenzo Pellegrini gave Jose Mourinho’s side the lead, but they had to come back level.

Despite having home advantage, Roma will be motivated after a disappointing goalless draw with Bologna at the weekend, which ruled them out of a top-four finish in Serie A. The Foxes, on the other hand, are looking to put their terrible Premier League season behind them.

After exiting the Europa League group stage, they beat Randers and Rennes before meeting PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals.

Brendan Rodgers’ side fell behind in the Netherlands after a scoreless first leg, but goals from James Maddison and Ricardo Pereira in the final 15 minutes saw them recover and reach the final four.

Harvey Barnes’ cross was deflected into the Giallorossi’s net by defender Gianluca Mancini soon after the hour mark.

After a 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend, Rodgers’ men will try to keep their Conference League title ambitions alive with a win on Thursday.

AS Roma vs Leicester – Betting Analysis

Roma pushed hard and showed quality to leave Leicester with a draw last week, and might go one better in the second leg with a hostile home crowd.

Despite Rodgers’ best efforts, the Portuguese are superior. That’s why we think Roma will win. Mourinho’s fault. Overall, both teams are good; perhaps Leicester has more reputable players. Mourinho should make the difference here.

The first game was 1-1. Lorenzo Pellegrini gave the guests the lead in the 15th minute. Mancini equalised with an own goal in the 67th minute. This saved Leicester.
