As we approach the second leg of the UEFA semi-finals, the world of European football is brimming with anticipation. The Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League are all set to deliver monumental clashes and heart-stopping moments. In this preview, we’ll delve into the drama of the first-leg fixtures and provide a glimpse of what’s to come.
The stage is set for a thrilling UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg as PSG hosts Borussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes. The visitors bring a narrow 1-0 advantage into this clash courtesy of Niclas Fullkrug’s decisive strike in the first leg.
PSG’s recent home victories against Dortmund, including a solid 2-0 result in this season’s group stage, marks them as the favourites to emerge victorious on the night and advance to the final in their quest for their first Champions League title. However, the Dortmund squad isn’t short on motivation. The resilient 0-0 draw they secured at PSG’s turf in 2010, with Mats Hummels securing the defence, reminds us that they’re more than capable of frustrating their hosts.
Hummels and Marco Reus’s experience, having both endured the agony of defeat in the 2013 Champions League final, aim to guide their team to a redemptive victory. On the other hand, the electrifying Kylian Mbappe, at just 25 years old, is looking to add the prestigious Champions League crown to his impressive collection of accolades.

The Europa League semi-final tie between Atalanta and Marseille hangs at 1-1 as the teams prepare to face off in the second leg. Having secured an all-important draw at the Stade Vélodrome, Atalanta will undoubtedly feel optimistic about the advantage of playing at home in the decisive match.
The first leg showcased a dramatic play, with both teams demonstrating their capability to strike and strike back. Gianluca Scamacca’s early goal for Atalanta was swiftly counteracted by Chancel Mbemba’s response for Marseille, setting the stage for a balanced second leg. As the match progressed, Ismaïla Sarr seemed to have doubled Marseille’s tally, after Musso saved Aubameyang’s initial strike. However, the celebrations were cut short as the goal was disallowed; Luis Henrique was adjudged to be offside during the buildup, nullifying Sarr’s quickfire response.
The betting angles are plentiful and intriguing, and the tie is evenly matched.
Bayer Leverkusen’s astounding 47-game unbeaten streak has not only turned heads across Europe but also ensured they carry a 2-0 lead into the second leg of their Europa League tie against AS Roma. This speaks volumes of their consistent form and has certainly positioned them as strong contenders for the trophy.
The first leg was a tale of pivotal moments and shifting fortunes. Roma’s Romelu Lukaku came agonisingly close to altering the game with a header that ricocheted off the bar, an opportunity that would come back to haunt the Italian side. Seizing the moment, Leverkusen capitalised on a defensive blunder from Roma’s Rick Karsdorp, whose misplaced pass was intercepted and masterfully converted by Florian Wirtz. Later, Robert Andrich’s goal further widened the gap, leaving Roma with a significant deficit to recover from.
As the teams prepare for the second leg, Leverkusen will aim to secure their path to the final by leveraging their home-field advantage and unbeaten streak.
With the final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on the horizon, Leverkusen stands on the threshold of a landmark achievement. Will they extend their unbeaten run and step into the final, or will Roma defy the odds and stage a comeback for the ages? Place your bets with BetVision.io.
In an enthralling first leg of the Europa Conference League that showcased the dynamism of European football, Fiorentina narrowly edged out Club Brugge 3-2, setting a tense stage for the second leg in Belgium. The match was a rollercoaster from the onset, with Fiorentina drawing first blood just 5 minutes into the game, only for Club Brugge to restore parity twelve minutes later.
The scoring didn’t end there, as Fiorentina reclaimed the lead before the break with a 37th-minute strike, but the drama intensified in the second half. Club Brugge’s Raphael Onyedika received his marching orders after accumulating two yellow at the 61-minute mark. Remarkably, the Belgian side ignored their numerical disadvantage, levelling the tie two minutes later, courtesy of Igor Thiago.
Despite having an extra player on the pitch, Fiorentina struggled to capitalise on their one-man advantage. It wasn’t until the last moments of the game that M’Bala Nzola’s cool finish in time handed them a 3-2 aggregate lead to defend in the second leg.
With the narrow lead and an away goal to their name, Fiorentina will feel confident, but the tie is far from over as Club Brugge aims to leverage their home support to overturn the deficit.
Aston Villa, a side known for their strength on home turf at Villa Park, faced an unexpected defeat as Olympiakos delivered a performance full of surprises. Ayoub El Kaabi emerged as the day’s hero for Olympiakos, scoring a remarkable hat-trick, his first in European competitions, leading his team to a 4-2 triumph over the hosts.
The match started with El Kaabi bagging two goals within the first 30 minutes, propelling Olympiakos to an early 2-0 lead. Aston Villa, however, did not lose heart. However, Ollie Watkins’ penalty on the stroke of halftime, followed by Moussa Diaby’s early second-half goal, levelled the score at 2-2. But El Kaabi, determined to leave his mark on the match, quickly reclaimed the lead for Olympiakos with a penalty, completing his hat-trick and making it 3-2.
The final blow for Aston Villa came from a goal from Santiago Hezze, who scored in the 67th minute, widening the gap to 4-2 in favour of the visitors. Despite this, Aston Villa had a chance to claw back into the game when they were awarded another penalty. However, Douglas Luiz could not capitalise on the opportunity, as his penalty failed to find the net, much to the dismay of the Villa fans.
With the AEK Arena in Athens awaiting the finalists on the 29th of May, the stage is set for a dramatic end to this gripping semi-final tie.
