Roma welcome Manchester United to the Stadio Olimpico this Thursday for the second leg of their Europa League semifinals clash. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Mancunians absolutely bulldozed the Romans in the first leg, beating their opponents 6-2. Having gone into the half-time break behind, they came out a different side to put five past their opponents and give them a significant advantage heading into the second leg.

Can Roma pull off another magical comeback?

Back in the quarterfinals of the 2017/18 season, Roma stage a brilliant comeback at the hands of Barcelona to book themselves a place in the last four. They would need to do exactly that this Thursday if they’re to play in the UEL final this season. However, with their current form of three consecutive losses, it is hard to see where such inspiration comes from.

There were shades of the 06/07 season last Thursday with Man United winning at Old Trafford by a huge margin against AS Roma. Although they couldn’t follow up that win with another victory given that their match against Liverpool was postponed, we are sure that their confidence would be flying through the roofs.
