2023–24 UEFA Europa League | 53rd season of Europe’s secondary club football tournament
Semifinal 2nd Leg: Thursday, May 9th, 2024

 

First Leg of the Semifinals

Atalanta and Marseille head into their second leg matchup on Thursday knotted 1-1. The venue changes from Marseille in France to Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy, Atalanta’s home pitch, which gives the Serie A squad the edge. In the other Europa League match on Thursday, Bayer Leverkusen hosts AS Roma with a huge 2 goals to 0 lead.

Will Leverkusen and Atalanta prevail to set up a Serie A versus Bundesliga Europa League Final? Or will the road teams get it done in shocking wins?

Marseille vs Atalanta

Semifinals Leg-2: Tied 1-1 on aggregate
Thursday, May 9th at 3:00 pm ET
Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo, Italy

Why Marseille is a Good Bet Versus Atalanta

Although the first leg ended in a draw, Marseille provided the slightly better performance. While Atalanta took just 8 shot son goal, Marseille took 14. Also, Marseille held possession 49.3%, which means they held their own in time of possession versus a solid Italian Serie A squad.

One mistake Marseille may have made was that after Chancel Mbemba scored the goal in the twentieth minute to even the match, Atalanta became more conservative. Marseille failed to capitalize by putting pressure on Atalanta. A couple of tweaks in this match and Marseille will have a chance to pull off the upset win.

Why Atalanta is a Good Bet Versus Marseille

Atalanta is on fire. In their past 5 matches, the only blip is the draw versus Marseille. Wins over Fiorentina, Empoli, Monza, and Salernitana tell us that the Seria A squad is at the top of their game.

The victory against Salernitana is particularly telling because Atalanta has zero shot of winning the Seria A title and only a small chance of qualifying for the Champions League. The fact the home team in this went after Salernitana says they’re taking pride in playing at an elevated level.

Atalanta Last 5

  • W – 1-2 vs Salernitana

Atalanta vs Marseille Final Betting Analysis

Marseille blew their chance of getting an edge on the aggregate. The Ligue 1 team scored the equalizer but then could do nothing after the twentieth minute. That’s not a good sign for Marseille heading into the second leg versus a scorching Atalanta squad.

The Serie A team is excellent on their pitch. Not only that, but they’ve gotten used to winning. Expect Atalanta to free up Gianluca Scamacca for at least 1 goal. That will be enough to secure the game and aggregate victories.

AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen

Semifinals Leg-2: Bayer Leverkusen lead 2-0 on aggregate
Thursday, May 9th at 3:00 pm ET
BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany

Why AS Roma is a Good Bet Versus Bayer Leverkusen

Down 2-0, Roma doesn’t have much chance of rallying and beating Leverkusen on the aggregate. But Roma could score a massive moneyline victory because Bayer Leverkusen for sure won’t play an aggressive match.

AS Roma is also in decent form. In their last 3 matches versus 3 of their top rivals, Roma shows 2 draws, against Juve and Napoli, and a win over AC Milan. Roma may catch Leverkusen napping in this.

AS Roma Last 5

  • D – 1-1 vs Juventus
  • L – 0-2 vs Bayer Leverkusen
  • D – 2-2 vs Napoli
  • W – 1-2 vs Udinese
  • L – 1-3 vs Bologna

AS Roma Predicted Starting Lineup

  • Svilar
  • Smalling
  • Mancini
  • Spinazzola
  • Karsdorp
  • Paredes
  • Pelligrini
  • Cristante
  • Lukaku
  • El Shaarawy
  • Dybala
 

Why Bayer Leverkusen is a Good Bet Versus AS Roma

Bayer Leverkusen isn’t just beating opponents. They’re dominating their opponents. Leverkusen has had a remarkable Bundesliga squad season highlighted by the fact they won the German League title with 5 matches to spare.

How well has Leverkusen played? Both Bayern and Dortmund made it to the Champions League Semifinals. Leverkusen has 26 wins, 6 draws, and 0 losses in the Bundesliga.

As far as their Europa League form is concerned, forget it. Bayer rolled through AS Roma in the first leg and the match was in Rome. At home, Leverkusen will be even more effective at scoring goals.

  • W – 1-5 vs Eintracht Frankfurt
  • W – 0-2 vs AS Roma
  • D – 2-2 vs VfB Stuttgart
  • D – 1-1 vs Dortmund

Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma Final Betting Analysis

For Bayer Leverkusen, it’s all about efficiency. In the first match, Leverkusen took just 8 shots. 2 were on the goal. The 2 on goal scored.

Roma took 19 shots and couldn’t land a single one on goal. Leverkusen’s efficiency will be in full force in front of their fans on Thursday. The German Bundesliga squad won’t change strategies because they have a 2-goal lead.

Leverkusen is consistent in their play from match to match. So we should expect another 2 goals, possibly 3 goals, victory.

It’s the Europa League’s turn to showcase their final four of the season. In one semifinal, Ligue 1 team Marseille is a +142 slight favorite over Serie A squad Atalanta. In the other, Bundesliga champ Bayer Leverkusen is the road favorite over Serie A squad AS Roma.

Which teams get the edge in the leg 1 matches? Let’s find out…

Marseille vs Atalanta

Europa League Odds: Marseille +142; Atalanta +184

Thursday, May 2nd at 3:00 pm ET
Orange Velodrome, Marseille, France

The home team is in decent form. Marseille has lost a single match in their last 5, versus Benfica in a Europa League quarterfinals match on April 11. Since then, Marseille has knocked out Benfica, drawn against Toulouse and Nice, and beaten Lens 2-1.

Atalanta is in better form than the home team. The Serie A squad has beaten Monza, Fiorentina, and Empoli in their last 3 matches. The win against Fiorentina impressed big time because Atalanta dropped 4 goals while giving up 1 goal.

Although Atalanta is playing better than Marseille, this happens on Marseille’s pitch. Not only that, but the home team is easily the best soccer club Atalanta has faced in their last 3. Marseille wins 1-0.

AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen

Europa League Odds: AS Roma +146; Bayer Leverkusen +106

Thursday, May 2nd at 3:00 pm ET
Olimpic, Roma, Italy

Bayer Leverkusen didn’t just win the German Bundesliga. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title with 5 games to spare.

That’s how dominant the road team has been. It’s also the reason that even though this happens on Roma’s pitch, Leverkusen is the favorite.

Roma, though, is no slouch. The home side has won 3-of-5 with the lone loss coming against Bologna, which, surprisingly, is in fourth place on the Serie A Standings. If the season ended today, Bologna would be a Champions League qualifier, which tells us Roma’s loss came against a quality club.

Leverkusen has drawn in 3 straight, which makes sense because they want to be fresh to take on Roma on Thursday. Still, 3 straight draws is not the form you want heading into a Europa League Semifinal.

If we add the fact that Roma is the home side, it’s clear that Leverkusen may not be sharp enough for the regulation victory. Roma may not win, but they will force a draw.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. AS Roma

When: Thursday, May 18 at 3:00 pm ET
Where: BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany
Handicap Odds: AS Roma +0.5 -131 / Bayer Leverkusen +0.5 +103
Money Line Odds: Bayer Leverkusen +108 / AS Roma +270 / Draw +234
Goals Total Odds: O 2.5 +114 / U 2.5 -145

Why AS Roma is a Good Bet versus Bayer Leverkusen

Roma had an edge in the first match. But we shouldn’t look past how Roma beat Leverkusen 1-0. The road team in this only had possession 38% of the time. Yet, Roma managed 12 total shots and 5 shots on goal.

Why Bayer Leverkusen is a Good Bet versus AS Roma

Bayer dominated possession in the first leg. Leverkusen controlled the ball 62% of the time. The German Bundesliga squad took 10 shots but only 2 were on goal. No doubt, if Leverkusen manages to take better shots, they should at least get a goal versus Roma.

Final Betting Analysis: AS Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Roma versus Leverkusen should be terrific. Leverkusen has the edge, though. The Bundesliga squad should have a strategy that allows them to take better shots and counter Roma’s ability to counter. It won’t be easy, but Leverkusen will at least force an aggregate draw and could beat Roma by 2 before the end of regulation.

Why Sevilla is a good bet versus Juventus

Sevilla is in decent form. Not only did the LaLiga squad force a draw against Juve in Turin in the first leg, but Sevilla followed up the draw with a fantastic 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid. This happens on Sevilla’s pitch, which is another reason to consider them the better play.

Why Juventus is a Good Bet versus Sevilla

Juventus drew against Sevilla in the first leg, and this happens on Sevilla’s grass, but that doesn’t mean Juve isn’t the better pick. Juventus, at least on paper, is the better team. Juve should have the right strategy to get it done on Thursday.

Final Betting Analysis: Juventus vs. Sevilla

Juventus versus Sevilla should be a terrific match. Although Juve let an opportunity to get an aggregate lead slip from their grasps in the first leg, we shouldn’t write off the Massimiliano Allegri coached squad.

Allegri will have the right strategy to get Juve to the winner’s circle. Also, the odds make the Serie A squad an overlay.

Money Line Odds: Bayer Leverkusen +260 / AS Roma +112 / Draw +234
Goals Total Odds: O 2.5 +111 / U 2.5 -141

Why AS Roma is a Good Bet versus Bayer Leverkusen

Roma isn’t in great form, but the draws and losses make sense. There’s no shame in losing 0-2 against Internazionale, a Champions League contender.

Not only that, but AS Roma has no reason to go all out versus Inter when their lone shot at a championship is to win the Europa League.

In their last Europa League match, Roma dusted Feyenoord Rotterdam 4-1. Expect that Roma side to show up on Thursday.

Why Bayer Leverkusen is a good bet versus AS Roma

In their last meaningful match versus a top Bundesliga rival, Leverkusen prevailed over Leipzig 2-0. The draw against Union Berlin and FC Cologne make sense because like Roma, Leverkusen won’t waste effort in meaningless matches.

Bayer has not shot of winning the Bundesliga. So saving players for this has been the goal in the last couple of games.

Final Betting Analysis: AS Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Roma has the edge because this happens on their pitch. But in the second half of the season, Leverkusen has played great soccer.

Bayer not only has the win over Leipzig but they’ve also got a win over Bayern in their last 10 matches. Leverkusen can turn it on at will. They will do so on Thursday for the upset money line victory.

Why Sevilla is a Good Bet versus Juventus

Sevilla is playing fantastic soccer. The road team in this shows 4 victories and a single loss. The

Also, Sevilla bounced back after the loss with a 3-2 victory over Espanyol in their last. The La Liga squad can surprise.

Why Juventus is a Good Bet versus Sevilla

This happens on Juve’s pitch. So Juventus has an edge. In addition, Juve is in good form. The losses to Napoli and Internazionale were by a single goal.

Juve drew with Bologna before winning their last couple of matches. The home team is playing terrific soccer.

Final Betting Analysis: Juventus vs. Sevilla

We can make a case for Juventus or Sevilla. But it’s tough to go against Juve because this happens on their pitch.

Also, although Sevilla did bounce back from the loss to Girona by beating Espanyol, it wasn’t easy. Espanyol scored 2 goals, which is a sign Sevilla’s defense isn’t playing well. Juve is the pick.
