Manchester United - AS Roma: Tip, prognosis und odds   - EUROPE: Europa League - Play Offs

 

Exactly four teams can still hope to win the title in the UEFA Europa League. Before the semi-finals Manchester United vs. AS Roma, the lowest odds are offered for the "Red Devils" as the overall winner, which is primarily due to the fact that the team of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the only team originally from the premier class and also on Performs far better at national level.

Although the English top club has so far been able to convince in the knockout phase of the Europa League and has remained completely unbeaten in six games, an uncomfortable and dangerous opponent is now waiting for Fernandes, Rashford and Co. with the Roma after all, one of the best offensives, especially away from home, regularly scoring goals.

It is precisely this aspect that makes it so difficult to find a suitable forecast between Manchester United and AS Roma. Does the defensive stability of the English predominate or can the self-confident Giallorossi attack with top striker Borja Mayoral pose bigger problems for the most promising title candidate?

We consider the latter scenario to be anything but unrealistic and are therefore not averse to scouring the various sports betting apps for the corresponding odds that aim at hits for both teams.

Direct comparison / H2H

For the Italian capital club there was hardly anything to gain against Manchester United in their joint history. For the seventh time in total, the two well-known clubs face each other on the international stage, incidentally for the first time in the Europa League. In four cases the "Red Devils” got the upper hand, only once "La Magica” was able to prevail.

The results at Old Trafford are even more devastating from the perspective of the Roma, because all three guest performances in the "Theater of Dreams” were lost. The "Associazione Sportiva" conceded a whopping nine goals and only scored a single goal. The greatest glimmer of hope in this regard is the fact that the last direct duel took place in 2008 and two completely different teams crossed the blades on Thursday evening.

Manchester United stats & current form

Manchester United has only made it into the knockout phase of the Champions League twice since 2015. The most important European club competition has not gone beyond the quarter-finals since 2011. The statistics in the Europa League read much more positively, because similar to 2016/17, when the title was ultimately won, and in 2019/20 the "Red Devils" made it to the semi-finals in their third consecutive participation .

While last year the semi-final against Sevilla was the final destination, the team of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now of course set the goal of reaching the final and winning it in Gdansk at the end of May. Before the first leg between Manchester United and AS Roma, a prognosis for the progress of the English is absolutely obvious, especially since the multiple European Cup winner only lost one of the last twelve matches against Italian clubs on an international level. Instead, there were eight wins and three point sharing.

Another statistical bargaining chip that can be thrown into the ring in the home game on Thursday evening is the fact that United have not lost out in any European Cup semi-finals in their own stadium since 1997 (four wins, three draws).

Will the United defense be properly challenged for the first time?

In addition, the English underlined their favorite status impressively in the current season, in which they remained unbeaten in six knockout games on the one hand (4-2-0) and on the other hand only conceded a single goal. Five clean sheets speak a clear language, although with the exception of AC Milan (1: 1, 1: 0) the opponents Granada or Real Sociedad froze in awe or did not have the offensive quality as the Roma are now doing.

Because Coach Solskjaer's star ensemble has always conceded at least one goal in six of the last eight Premier League home games, but always scored goals themselves, and moreover looks even more vulnerable at Old Trafford throughout the season than abroad we have an attractive value in the odds for hits on both sides in the semi-final first leg Manchester United against AS Roma. Only Martial and Jones are injured and unavailable.

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani

AS Roma - statistics & current form

The three-time Italian champions from the capital have had a disappointing season at the national level so far. Five game days before the end, "La Magica” is only in seventh place in Serie A and threatens to miss out on European business in 2020/21 with currently six points behind the sixth place.

In all probability, the only remaining way out would be the title in the Europa League, which, however, is a long way off. The Bet365 app is currently being used to pay out seven times the stake if the Fonseca team should raise the trophy to the sky at the end of May.

The Giallorossi has to be given credit for showing a completely different and much more beautiful face on the international stage. In twelve games in the current Europa League season, the Roma celebrated nine wins, drew twice and only lost on the last match day of the group stage against CSKA Sofia (1: 3), when progress was already fixed.

Only two teams have scored more often than the Roma so far


Also noteworthy were the performances in the knockout phase, as with Sporting Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk and, most recently, Ajax Amsterdam, well-known and strong opponents could be eliminated. In all cases, it was good offensive performances that laid the foundation for progress in each case. The Italians only managed one goal in the 1-1 quarter-final second leg at home against Ajax Amsterdam, otherwise it was always at least two.

Overall, only Arsenal FC and Villarreal, who face each other in the other semifinals, have scored more goals than "La Magica”, who also has Borja Mayoral as the top scorer in the 2020/21 Europa League. The Spaniard scored seven times in twelve missions. His compatriot Pedro, however, will be missing as well as the injured Zaniolo. In return, the comeback of the ex-Dortmunders Mkhitaryan recently gave the team a big boost.

Although the capital city club has not won twelve away games on the island for now, the underdog can have realistic hopes for a good result, especially since all three knockout games abroad have been won to date. Including the group stage, there were even five wins in six guest appearances. Without a hit, the Roma only stayed in one of the twelve competition games mentioned (0-0 at home against CSKA Sofia).

Expected formation of AS Roma:

Lopez; Cristante, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Diawara, Veretout, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Dzeko

Betting base forecast & Manchester United - AS Roma Italy tip

Even if there are no longer any German-speaking teams in the competition, we can look forward to two real delicacies in the Europa League semi-finals. The German free TV broadcaster RTL Nitro will broadcast the first leg between Manchester United and AS Roma live on Thursday evening, as will DAZN. According to the betting odds, the clear advantages are on the side of the English.

Free soccer predictions

This assessment is understandable in view of the greater individual quality and the home advantage, but we do not see any real value in bets on the "Red Devils". Instead, we trust the guests from the Italian capital, who have had a strong EL season so far and have scored at least twice in five of their six away games, a passable result.

Free soccer picks

It is therefore most sustainable to play the tip between Manchester United and AS Roma that both teams will score with a slightly higher stake. The Solskjaer-Elf may have a strong defense, but they can now expect the third-best offensive in the competition for striker Mayoral, which is certainly speculating on an important away goal. The top quota for the "BTS" can be accessed via the 888sport app. If, on the other hand, you have your account with Bet-at-Home, attractive voucher offers beckon.
