A.S. Roma will host Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the 2023 UEFA Europa League semifinals on Thursday on Paramount+.

UEFA Europa League picks for Leverkusen vs. Roma
Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the UEFA Europa League picks from SportsLine soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's World Cup, Green is 77-81-3 with his soccer picks, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Roma vs. Leverkusen, Green is picking Roma to win for a +115 payout. The expert notes that Roma has played well at home, while Leverkusen has played well on the road, and since both have a strong forward attack, both should be able to find the back of the net on Thursday. However, Green is giving the edge to the home team because of Mourinho's experience and the scoring arsenal's superior skill against the German side's defense.
"Leverkusen certainly has the attacking weapons to hurt Roma, as Florian Wirtz, Moussa Diaby and Amine Adli form a very dangerous front three," Green told SportsLine. "Yet the Leverkusen defense could struggle against the likes of Lorenzo Pellegrini, Tammy Abraham and the magnificent Paulo Dybala, and Mourinho's men look capable of winning this first leg clash."
