Bayer 04 are the favorites, with their form this season, confidence, and abundance of quality in their ranks. Roma look bereft of confidence at the moment and there is a gap in quality between the two sides that the Serie A side has not shown signs of bridging.
Bayer 04 will win and book their place in the Europa League final.
