Roma host Man Utd at the Stadio Olimpico (Rome) in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-finals and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Thursday, May 6. Read our reasons for Roma vs Man Utd prediction and betting tips.
The Giallorossi are unbeaten in the Italian capital in this competition and can also boast a good record here in Serie A, so look a value bet to at least salvage some pride following a first-leg 6-2 thrashing after blowing a 2-1 half-time lead at Old Trafford. Given the chance to approach this game in a more settled manner, Roma will be determined to show their true worth. As for United, they have been comeback kings all season and pulled off another fantastic fightback in the first encounter. Having suffered four straight semi-final defeats in various competitions under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they took a giant stride towards reaching the Gdansk decider on May 26.
Roma has the home advantage but knows they are all but out of this competition after losing 6-2 at Old Trafford last time. The Italians travelled to England hoping to keep things tight at the back and unnerve their hosts. But above all else, the task at hand was to ensure the tie remained competitive for the return leg. They knew a goal or two on the road would have done wonders for their chances of sneaking through. The attack did its job to their credit, hitting the net twice at Old Trafford, but the defence was ripped apart.
Pellegrini scored a penalty on 15 minutes for Roma in the UK, with the second goal coming from Dzeko with 33 on the clock, but they could not build on that solid first-half showing. For as good as Roma were in attack, they were hopeless in defence, leaking six goals with two of them coming from the penalty spot. Man Utd found the net twice from Fernandes, a double from Cavani, and goals for Pogba and Greenwood. Roma’s chances of going through are hanging by a thread, but they will keep fighting.
Meanwhile, Man Utd started this season in the UEFA Champions League and opened their group campaign with a couple of wins but finished third in a competitive set and dropped into this competition. Most teams, including Man Utd, see the Europa League as an alternative route into the Champions League by winning the trophy and qualifying for Europe’s elite next season. But the visitors have already achieved a top-four finish in the Premier League, so they will be returning to the Champions League regardless.
The team, therefore, deserves credit for juggling their domestic campaign with an extended run in this competition. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may see lifting the Europa League as a great way to prove himself as a manager. The Champions League is the club’s aim, but now they are within touching distance of the final with a solid first-leg lead and not a lot to play for in England, it becomes interesting. They could afford to lose this game by a goal or two and still progress with ease.

Roma and Man Utd meet for the seventh time in the European competitions. The head-to-head scores currently stand at five wins for the Red Devils against one draw and a single win for the Italians. Roma are low on confidence and know they have little to play for in the last few weeks of the season. Despite this, they owe it to their fans to save face and put on a solid performance. On the other hand, Man Utd will set up to defend and pick their opponents off on the break.
