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.

Roma - Athletic Bilbao: Form Analysis
What if AS Roma had just launched their season? The Louve club have struggled in their first few days of Serie A. They have taken just 3 points from their first 4 matches. 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. They have now won their last 3 league matches. Ernesto Valverde's men are coming off wins over Las Palmas (2-3), Leganés (0-2) and Celta Vigo (3-1). In 3rd place in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao will be looking to continue their Europa League campaign.

Roma & Athletic Bilbao Squad Analysis
AS Roma will be without Alexis Saelemaekers for their Europa League debut. Enzo Le Fée is also doubtful. The club from Rome will be able to rely on its numerous recruits. Matias Soulé, Manu Koné, Mats Hummels and Artem Dovbyk. The latter has just scored in the last 2 Serie A matches. Paulo Dybala is another player to keep a close eye on. La Joya has 1 league goal to his name. The Argentinian talent will be looking to shine on the European stage.

As for Athletic Bilbao, Unai Simon will be out for several more months. Yuri Berchiche and Yeray Alvarez are also out. Julen Agirrezabala and Nico Williams are doubtful.
