Roma vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Picks - Europa League
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
A great line-up for the start of the Europa League league phase! AS Roma take on Athletic Bilbao. The match takes place this Thursday at 3:00 PM EST, at the Stadio Olimpic in Rome. Somewhat to everyone's surprise, Daniele De Rossi has been relieved of his duties at the helm of AS Roma. Ivan Juric has now taken over the reins of the club. He got off to a flying start with his new team by beating Udinese 3-0 at the weekend.
Athletic Bilbao will be keen to follow up their success on the European stage. And they've got a big one on their hands! Bilbao are in fine form at the start of the season. After 7 rounds in La Liga, the Basque club are sitting in 3rd position. In particular, they have just won their last 3 matches. All the more reason to be confident ahead of their trip to the Italian capital, where they'll be hoping to beat the odds.

A poor start that got the better of Daniele De Rossi. Ivan Juric took his place on the Giallorossi bench. And his debut was a success. Last weekend, AS Roma easily beat Udinese (3-0). The victory lifted them up to 10th place in Serie A.
Ivan Juric has taken over the reins at AS Roma. He got off to a good start by beating Udinese (3-0).
Athletic Bilbao, for their part, have already established themselves at the top of the La Liga table. After recording just one win in their first 4 matches, the Basque club accelerated from there.
