This semi-final is a rematch of last season's semi-final, which saw AS Roma qualify after a tight double confrontation (1-0 and 0-0). This season, the situation may be different as Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen is still undefeated in 46 official matches (+ 2 friendlies), and Roma has regained a well-oiled and highly effective offensive style of play with Daniele De Rossi on the bench. In fact, both teams could find the back of the net in the Italian capital.
