Although Roma are having a tough time on the defensive end lately, they are the favourites to win this match at home. Their midfield and attack are quite strong with Edin Dzeko leading the line, Mohamed Salah and Gervinho on the wings and Miralem Pjanic passing the balls through.

Leverkusen's investment in Manchester United's Javier Hernandez this summer is starting to pay dividends. Chicharito is on a nice scoring run as of late.

Domestically Roma just lost the top position in Serie A to Inter who beat them 1-0 in Milan. Bayer Leverkusen are 7th in the German Bundesliga and they most recently lost away to Wolfsburg 2-1.





So who is going to win the game in Rome on Wednesday?

It is a Big game for Roma. If they lose, they are basically out of the tournament.

Enjoy the Champions League everyone!
