Europa League: Roma-Milan, Pioli chases the comeback. «2» at 2.45 on Snai, but De Rossi is ahead in qualifying

ROME – After the 0-1 in the first leg, Roma want to defend their lead in the Italian derby of the Europa League quarter-finals. Mancini’s header gives De Rossi the chance to go through even with a draw, but the Snai odds for at least the 90 minutes at the Olimpico are on Milan’s side, favorites at 2.45. If the «X» sign is worth 3.35, another Roma victory pays 2.85. The gap, however, widens when it comes to the antepost linked to qualification, which also includes extra time and penalties: Roma ahead at 1.35, with Milan at 3.25. Total balance between Under (1.85) and Over (1.87), with Goal at 1.67 being preferred to No Goal at 2.10. Lukaku and Giroud are the most likely scorers, both at 3.00; followed by Abraham and Dybala at 3.50 and the Jovic-Leao pair at 3.75.

After Liverpool’s extraordinary feat, Atalanta must defend a three-goal lead against Liverpool, in a quarter-final that is completely unbalanced on Gasperini’s side. However, isolating the odds for the return match, the Reds are still 1.65 favourites; «1» and «X» are within close range, at 4.25 and 4.50 respectively, with the Over at 1.37 clearly more probable than the Over at 2.85. A match is expected (considering only regular time) with both teams scoring: Goal at 1.40, No Goal at 2.75. The Snai odds for Atalanta’s qualification are close to 1.16, with Liverpool (who need to win with a four-goal difference) at 5.25. The blow at Anfield allowed the Dea to climb the antepost board for the team that will lift the trophy: Bayer Leverkusen still leads fresh German champions at 2.25, on the podium there are both Atalanta at 5.50 and Roma at 7.50, with Milan slipping to 12.

Not just the Europa League. In the Conference, Fiorentina, after the goalless draw at Viktoria Plzen, aims to secure qualification for the semi-final. The odds smile on Italiano, favorite for the return match at 1.37, against the offer of 4.50 that accompanies the draw (and which would therefore take the teams to extra time) and the 8.75 linked to the «2» . Same odds for Under and Over (1.85), with No Goal offered at 1.60 and Goal at 2.20. There are also few doubts about Fiorentina’s qualification at 1.18; Viktoria very distant at 5.00. Even after the first legs of the quarterfinals, Aston Villa remains the favorite for the final victory, followed by the Viola at 3.50.
