Although they lost 1-0 in Rome, Leverkusen responded with a 3-0 home triumph through goals from Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Admir Mehmedi and Karim Bellarabi. Previous meetings • Leverkusen finished top of the group and Roma bottom when the clubs met in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Leverkusen beat the Giallorossi 3-1 at home, overturning a first-half Dimitar Berbatov own goal through second-half strikes by Roque Júnior, Jacek Krzynówek and França. Roma finished with nine men after the dismissals of Christian Panucci and Daniele De Rossi. • The lineups at the BayArena on 20 October 2004 were: Leverkusen: Butt, Roque Júnior, Nowotny, Juan, Schneider, Ramelow (França 46), Placente, Ponte (Balitsch 90+1), Jones (Freier 67), Berbatov, Krzynówek. Roma: Zotti, Panucci, Ferrari, Scurto, Cufré, De Rossi, Perrotta (Mido 73), Mancini (Sartor 67), Totti, Cassano, Montella (Aquilani 50). • The sides reconvened at the Stadio Olimpico a fortnight later where Berbatov gave Leverkusen an 82nd-minute lead only for Vincenzo Montella to snatch a point with an added-time equaliser. Match background Leverkusen • Second in the Group E standings, Leverkusen are looking to bounce back from their 2-1 loss at FC Barcelona last time out. • The Bundesliga side can take heart from their free-scoring home form in Europe this term. Roger Schmidt's men followed up their 3-0 play-off success against Lazio with a 4-1 victory over FC BATE Borisov on matchday one. • Leverkusen's home record against Serie A teams is W4 D1 L3. Roma • The Giallorossi are still seeking a first win in Group E having drawn at home with Barcelona (1-1) and then lost 3-2 at BATE. • Roma last won away from home in the UEFA Champions League when beating FC Basel 1893 (3-2) in November 2010 and have since gone six away games without a victory. • Roma lost heavily to FC Bayern München in last season's group stage, going down 7-1 at home on 21 October last year, before a 2-0 defeat in Bavaria. • Francesco Totti was on the bench for their last win in Germany – 3-0 at Hamburger SV in the 2000/01 UEFA Cup third round. • Roma's overall record away to German clubs is W2 D0 L10.
