A.S. Roma looks to continue its dominance on home soil when it hosts Leicester City in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinals on Thursday. The Yellow and Reds were victorious in their last home Europa Conference matchup, defeating Bodo/Glimt 4-0 in the second leg of the quarterfinals. Jose Mourinho's men should be extra motivated after their last meeting with Leicester ended in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, the Foxes look to reverse their road woes and stay defensively sound against a hungry Roma offense. You can catch all the action when you stream the match live on Paramount+.

Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy will host this 3 p.m. ET match.

UEFA Europa Conference League picks for Roma vs. Leicester City

Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Leicester City vs. Roma picks from SportsLine's soccer insider Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Sutton has also been on a roll with his best bets, going 74-56 in his last 130 soccer picks, returning over $1,800 for $100 bettors.

For Roma vs. Leicester City, Sutton is backing Roma on the money line. Sutton is expecting a big game from Tammy Abraham, who scored the first goal in the victory over Bodo/Glimt in the quarterfinals. He should get plenty of help from Lorenzo Pellegrini, who netted a hat trick in that game and is second on the team this season with 24 goals.

Roma's offensive firepower will be a challenge for Leicester to contain. Brendan Rodgers' men were able to hold Roma to one goal when the sides last met, but the defense has struggled on the road as of late and gave up six goals in three matches. The visitors aren't capitalizing on their chances either. Despite dominating possession 68 percent in their last meeting with Roma, Leicester only had two shots on target for the whole match.
