AS Roma vs Athletic Club Prediction (06.03.2025)

Roma welcomes Athletic Bilbao in the Round of 16 clash of the Europa League, with the hosts relying on their solid form at home to take advantage before the second leg. "The Wolves" continued their progress after a dramatic 3-2 victory against Porto in the previous round, while the Basques had a break. Both teams have shown attacking efficiency, but this match may turn out to be more closed and strategic.

The Romans have not suffered a loss at the "Olimpico" in the Europa League this season, winning four out of their five home matches. At the same time, Athletic Bilbao struggles in away games in the tournament, being winless in their last four visits. Roma is expected to impose control over the game and seek a victory with an eye on the second leg in Bilbao.

The solid defense of the hosts and Athletic's difficulties in away games lean towards a low-scoring match. In this context, the prediction for a correct score of 1:0 in favor of Roma seems like an interesting option.
