Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma – Betting Analysis
Due to the perfectly healthy group that is available to choose from, Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso will be delighted not to have any fitness problems to speak about prior to this match.
With Lukas Hradecky, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapié, Jeremie Frimpong, Kerem Demirbay, Exequiel Palacios, Mitchel Bakker, Moussa Diaby, Sardar Azmoun, and Amine Adli, it appears that Leverkusen will likely play the 3-4-3 formation for the match.
José Mourinho, the manager of Roma, must select a team with few options. There are some players that are not eligible for selection, including Rick Karsdorp (knee surgery), Stephan El Shaarawy (unknown injury), Paulo Dybala (unknown ailment), Diego Llorente (biceps femoris muscle injury), and Marash Kumbulla (cruciate ligament injury).
Rui Patricio, Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Bryan Cristante, Leonardo Spinazzola, Mady Camara, Nemanja Matic, Nicola Zalewski, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Tammy Abraham, in our opinion, might be sent out along with Lorenzo Pellegrini and a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Roma has the potential to surprise this Bayer Leverkusen team, but that probably won’t be enough to prevent a defeat.
