Bayer vs Roma Prediction: Don’t expect many goals

Prediction for the match between Bayer and Roma, which will take place on May 18. Who will be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Bayer has developed after the appointment of Xabier Alonso as head coach and has begun to show a very high quality of football. If they were close to the relegation zone in the opening round of the German championship, they are now close to the Eurocup competition. In the last three games, they picked up only two points from nine possible, but even that slump does not prevent them from sitting seventh in the standings. Their focus is now on the Europa League, where they have already reached the semi-finals and dream of winning the long-awaited trophy. The Red and Black lost 0:1 to Roma in the first leg of the semi-final, but they will now play at home in the Bayern.

There has been a slight slump in Serie A recently with AS Roma, who have been in the Champions League competitions for a long time but have lost three games and two draws in the last five rounds, dropping to sixth place and their chances of making the top-four are now next to nil. Now, the Red Yellows can find themselves in the main European competition only through the Europa League, but they must win a trophy to do so. They already won the Conference League a year earlier, but this time the level of opposition will be noticeably higher. The Romans won the first leg of their semi-final clash (1:0 victory), but they still need to maintain that advantage.

José Mourinho is one of the most pragmatic coaches in the world, always famous for his ability to play to results. If his side is leading the scoreline, they are likely to be successful in the end. Roma achieved the required result in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final - 1:0, so it is enough for the Italians to retain the advantage in the upcoming return leg. At the same time, Bayer has looked very modest in attack recently, even at the Bundesliga level, and it will be even more challenging to crack the Wolves' defense. We can bet on Roma not to lose.

Under Xabi Alonso's leadership, Bayer began to progress dramatically, showing a bright and spectacular game, but recently the passion of the first team began to disappear. In their last four games in all competitions, they have scored just three goals (0.75 average per game). At the same time, Roma has only allowed their opponents to score twice in their previous six Europa League games. Therefore, we would expect Bayer's individual total under 0.5, and separately, we would bet on a total under 2.5.
