AS Roma take on the visitors Leicester in the second leg of UEFA Conference League semifinals. The first leg result: 1-1. The match will be played on Thursday, May 5th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
It has been clear for a while that Jose Mourinho will not be able to do in the very first year after returning to Italy what he was invited to in 2021 for - to climb at least into the top four in Calcio. Already in the domestic arena, the goals narrowed down to finishing higher than in the last draw, and at the same time overtaking their neighbors and enemies - Lazio. Not everything worked out in the newly created European Cup: in 1/8, Abraham's late goal in Rome saved them from having to play overtime with Vitesse, in 1/4 at first they lost to the well-known Bodo/Glimt, and only in the second leg they took convincing victory. In England there was hope for a more positive result than a draw, but Mancini's own goal prevented in the middle of the 2nd half.

In Conference League Leicester calmly knocked out not only the modest Danish Randers, but also the experienced Rennes (2-0 at home, 1-2 away) and PSV (0-0 at home, 2-1 in Eindhoven). Now they need to try to do the same with the Italians, which happened with the Dutch - we need to play in Rome to win. However, in case of a draw, the dispute will be transferred to extra time. And it will be interesting what tactics both José Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers will choose for the decisive match - after all, they are both considered pragmatic, even frankly cautious coaches.
Before the current confrontation, Roma and Leicester did not intersect. But remember that Rogers' coaching career began "under the wing" of the "Special" in Chelsea. In Roma Mkhitaryan is questionable, who has muscle problems. Leicester will be without Bertrand and Ndidi. Given what is at stake, it is worth recommending a pragmatic option with “a total of less than 2.5 goals scored”
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
