Roma-Bayer Leverkusen, the probable formations

Roma-Bayer Leverkusen again in the Europa League semifinals. The Giallorossi, a year later, want to give themselves an encore against the Germans, still undefeated in the season, to reach their second consecutive final. It starts at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with the first leg scheduled for 9 p.m.

De Rossi reunites Smalling and Lukaku: the former will partner Mancini in defense, the latter will lead the attack, with Dybala and El Shaarawy on his sides. In the midfield, Paredes in the box, with Cristante and Pellegrini on the wings. On the flanks space for Karsdorp and Spinazzola, between the posts Svilar.

Xabi Alonso relies on Boniface in attack, favored over Schick, supported by Adli and Wirtz. Midfield dike formed by Palacios-Xhaka, on the outsides space for Frimpong and Grimaldo. In defense grits his teeth Tah, between the posts there'è Kovar.

Probable lineups

ROMA (4-3-3): Svilar; Karsdorp, Mancini, Smalling, Spinazzola; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Lukaku, El Shaarawy. All. De Rossi

BAYER LEVERKUSEN (3-4-3): Kovar; Stanisic, Tah, Tapsoba; Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Adli, Boniface, Wirtz. All. Xabi Alonso
