  • Competition: Europa League
  • Date: Thursday, 26th September 2024
  • Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

AS Roma's start of the 2024/25 season was terrible. Even the biggest AS Roma opponents didn't expect only three points in the opening four Serie A rounds. After sacking Daniele De Rossi and the appointment of Ivan Juric, AS Roma recorded their first win of the season when they beat 3-0 Udinese last weekend. The home side was a much better side as they finished the match with an xG of 1.98, while guests had only 0.39. It is only the first victory, but AS Roma looked much better under Juric, and now they will turn their attention to the Europa League competition, where they reached the semifinal last season. 

After a few seasons in which Athletic Bilbao was finishing as a La Liga mid-table team, they were much better in the previous year, so the club from Basque returned to the Europa League after six seasons of absence. Athletic Bilbao wasn't on the best level at the start of the 2024/25 season, but in the last three matches, they secured a maximum of nine points. In the previous game, they won 3-1 at home against Celta Vigo. 

AS Roma vs Athletic Bilbao pick: Both teams to score - yes

AS Roma struggled with scoring this season, but in the first game under Juric, they scored three goals. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao scored eight goals in the previous three matches. Both teams to score - yes, it seems like the best bet for this tie.

After a big win against Udinese, a new AS Roma's head coach, Ivan Juric, was honest about morale in the squad after De Rossi's sacking. He said that the players were sad. Juric also added, "This purity of soul is what struck me the most. Then they are really willing to work, to give everything for Roma, as it should be. Today, I think they demonstrated it."
