Roma – Liverpool Champions League

On Wednesday, 2 May 2018, AS Roma will face Liverpool at 20:45 (CET) in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The English tradition team led by Jürgen Klopp could now enter the final for the first time in eleven years, when they failed in the 2006/07 season in Athens with a 1: 2 against AC Milan in the title win, which only two years earlier against the same opponent in Istanbul after a 3-0 deficit to the break at the end could still win 3-2 on penalties for the last time in history. Achievements, of which AS Roma could only dream up to now, have never celebrated an international title for the Giallorossi until now and in the 1983/84 season they only reached the final of the European Cup of the national champions, which is something for everyone Excess had lost against his current opponent from Liverpool on penalties.

The fact that the Roma can now successfully revenge for this disgrace of 34 years ago, but should not be all too likely, because after it was last Tuesday at Anfield a 2-2 away beat to get over, the team of Eusebio di Francesco would have celebrate a similarly strong comeback, as in the quarter-final against FC Barcelona. There, the Giallorossi triumphed after a 1: 4 away defeat at home Olympic Stadium in Rome namely 3: 0 against the Blaugrana and thus secured against expectations still the ticket for the round of the best four teams, which certainly no one had really seriously on the slip should have. But: Liverpool will be warned about the Romans and the third of the Italian Serie A here definitely not underestimate, because the great offensive around goalkeeper Edin Dzeko (pictured) and the half-European hunted midfield jewel Cengiz Ünder certainly brings the potential to pour three goals into the already not always stable defense of the Reds. It is all the more important that Liverpool will not travel to Rome with any pseudo-defensive tactics, but will do everything in its power to win the game so as not to make it even more exciting. In view of the assessments of Jürgen Klopp this is to be expected.

Thus, in the Champions League semi-finals, this return leg not only has the potential to become a highly exciting match, provided the Roma take the lead here, but it is also a very interesting encounter from the sports betting point of view real smells at three high odds * is rewarded in the classic 3-way system with high profits. How you should decide, we tell you after analysis of the two teams in the final forecast.

Roma – With a broad chest in the second leg

Already against FC Barcelona, when they were also able to turn a first leg defeat with three goals difference, the broad chest and the great self-confidence in their own abilities was the key to success in the runner-up runner-up in Italy. And it is precisely this broad chest that they want to show in the second leg against Liverpool, when the starting point has improved a bit in the last ten minutes in England. So you could adjust a 0-5 deficit still on a 2: 5, which makes the task but certainly not easier. However, the signal on the weekend was all the more impressive, because despite the fact that Rome had to defeat his home game against Chievo Calcio in almost 40 minutes, the Giallorossi managed a 4-1 home win – and with that a result like it would now be enough against the Reds from Liverpool to move into the first Champions League final ever. Noteworthy: on the fourth match day of the group stage, AS Roma defeated 3-0 at home to reigning champion Chelsea FC London – also here with a result, as it now seeks. The biggest ever comeback ever in a Champions League quarter-final eliminating the defeat by Barcelona with a three-goal difference, is now the biggest comeback ever in a semi-final of all time.

Liverpool FC – Just a step away from big luck

The fact that Liverpool would have chances to qualify for the knockout round, at least in the Champions League group stage, was made clear in the play-offs after their impressive qualifier against TSG Hoffenheim. That one would then march so impressively through these knockout stages is a big surprise. Both the FC Porto and Manchester City were now done by the men of Jürgen Klopp, where you were already against the Citizens of Pep Guardiola, which hover in the English Premier League in their own spheres, in the clear outsider role. And now the Liverpool in the semifinals caught the grateful at first glance by avoiding Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but has just pulled out the team that could previously eliminate FC Barcelona. Again, the Reds were cool and could completely turn off Rome for over 80 minutes and with the 5-0 lead open the gate to the first final for eleven years for miles, before two annoying goals make things look a bit different again. Thus, the Reds have even in the Olympic Stadium in Rome still a difficult task in front of the chest, but do not want to hide undoubtedly, but similar aggressive and offensive to go to work as in the first leg. But at least the statistics you have it on his side, because of a total of 35 knockout games with a return match in which the Reds first won the first leg at home, drew 30 times then also in the next round and failed only five times. They scored four goals only one victory with one goal advantage and only once was a 3-1 home win still reversed, as they failed in the semifinals in the semifinals away with 0: 3 at Inter Milan in 1964/65. However, the Reds have never lost a lead of three goals from the first leg at home …

Roma – Liverpool Record – Previous meetings

A total of six clashes between AS Roma and Liverpool have already taken place, and with their 5-2 win in the first leg, the Reds lead the match here with a total of three games in hand, while Roma draw only once in two draws Victory brings. The problem here: both home games at the Olympic Stadium in Rome could not be won by the Italians. Most recently, there was a goalless draw in the second group stage of the 2001/02 Champions League season, while a year before in the fourth round of the UEFA Cup, a 0-2 home defeat was recorded.

Roma – Liverpool Prediction – Champions League Match

The more probable it is in our estimation that the Liverpoolers will start in Rome like the fire brigade and that their first-class offensive could lead to a relatively early victory, which is why it should only be a matter of time before morale Giallorossi is broken and the proverbial plug is drawn to the Roman Olympic Stadium. Although a home victory of the Roma is not completely excluded, her final would be the biggest sensation of all time in the premier class. In our eyes, the most sustainable tip with the best possible expectation is that of Liverpool’s away win, which can bring all its strengths to bear against an open-faced opponent.
