Manchester United are set to host AS Roma in the first leg of their Europa League semi finals this Thursday. The two sides had winless outings this weekend in their domestic leagues, but both rested key players, United drawing with Leeds as Roma lost to Cagliari. Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Leeds presented their third clean sheet in five matches and ended their five-match winning streak, but they have just one loss in the last 21 matches. It was the first time they’ve failed to score in five matches; in the earlier four, they scored two or more goals. Heading to this game, United have four straight home wins and seven wins in 10. They joined the Europa League after finishing third in their Champions League group and have so far won four of the six matches played in the competition. In this game they will have skipper Harry Maguire, defender Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay all back after serving suspension for the Granada game, which they won 2-0. That win handed United a third straight Europa League clean sheet.

AS Roma have been off color lately, and the 3-2 loss to relegation threatened Cagliari says all about their recent run. They are off the mark in the chase for a Champions League place in Serie A and their hopes for Europe next season seem to rest on their performance in the Europa League. Though they’ve scored in each of their last five matches, Roma are winless in the last four outings. They’ve scored more than a goal in only one of the last five matches and go to this game with two straight away losses. They’ve however been a different side in Europe; in the last six Europa League matches, Roma are unbeaten, with five wins. Both sides have scored in four of Roma’s last five matches in this competition but they have three straight away wins, scoring two goals in each of them.
