Leicester City and AS Roma will face each other in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-finals this week. The match will be held at the King Power Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Thursday.

Leicester City

Leicester City are not having the best of times in the Premier League, but the Foxes are doing well in the Europa Conference League and could well win the European competition this season.

Brendan Rodgers’s side will head into the match against AS Roma on the back of a goalless draw with Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League. It followed a 1-1 draw with Everton away from home at Goodison Park in the league.

Team News:

Boubakary Soumare is back, and Jonny Evans could return.

AS Roma

AS Roma are unlikely to finish in the top four of the Serie A table this season, so winning the Europa Conference League has become important for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Roma will head into the match against Leicester on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Inter Milan away from home at San Siro in Serie A. The Italian club got the better of Bodø/Glimt in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League this season.

Team News:

Tammy Abraham will head the line for Roma.

Key Factors to Consider

• Leicester have won 4 of their last 6 Conference League games.
• Leicester City have won 2 of their last 6 competitive games.
• Roma have won 4 out of their last 6 Conference League matches.
• Roma have won 3 of their last 6 competitive matches.

Conclusion

Leicester are at home for the first leg, and that will give them an advantage. A narrow home win is the most likely outcome.
