AS Roma take on the visitors Liverpool at “Stadio Olimpico” in the second-leg fight of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. The match will be played Rome on Wednesday, May 2nd.
Although AS Roma are considered to be the favourites of the forthcoming clash against Liverpool, I doubt that the home-field factor will help them to beat extremely strong visitors. The Italians went their way through the UEFA Champions League Play Offs with constant difficulties. Having lost the first-leg tackle against Shakhtar Donetsk with 2:1 scoreline on the road, “I Lupi” celebrated 1:0 victory in front of their supporters and moved to the next round because of the away goals rule. Afterwards, the Romans sensationally knocked out Barcelona from the tournament, having managed to cover 1:4 defeat. But to a great measure that miracle was made by the Spaniards who had not attacked the way it should be done, trying to save their forces for the semi-finals battles.

Meanwhile, Liverpool look amazing in this season, paving their way in the UEFA Champions League very confidently. On the first Play Offs stage the team destroyed FC Porto in the first-leg game despite the fact that the Portuguese had not failed at their own turf for six month before that defeat from Brits. Thus, the reverse fixture against “Dragoes” has turned into a formality. The next stage clashes against Manchester City were finished with 5:1 aggregated score. It should be noted that apart from being the champions of the Premier League, ”The Citizens” are also claiming for the records in terms of the points taken, scored goals and goal difference. Jurgen Klopp have managed to set up immaculate team play with total pressing, thus, “The Merseysiders” are as strong as never before and the upcoming fight against AS Roma is an excellent opportunity to reach the tournament final and win the trophy eventually.
The first-leg encounter proved that the level of the rivals currently stay on different levels. I am completely convinced that the visitors have learnt the lesson and will get a confident triumph in reverse fixture and promote to the final. Besides, Liverpool are as motivated as never before plus their attacking line is in a fantastic shape while the hosts’ several key players are injured.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
