After a poor start to the season and no wins in the first four matches, the club's management decided to dismiss coach Daniele De Rossi. They hired the former coach of Torino and he started promisingly. He made his debut on Sunday and secured a good 3-0 victory at home against Udinese. We still have to see the debut of coach Ivan Juric in the Europa League, where Roma reached the semi-finals last season.
Athletic Bilbao did not have the problems of Roma and already has four wins this season. They are currently on a streak of three consecutive wins in the league, two of which were away matches. After six years, they will once again play in Europe, where they reached the round of 16 in their last participation in the same tournament.
Prediction: drawThe change of coach clearly contributed to Roma's first win of the season. However, Athletic Bilbao is a tough opponent who has been performing well lately and I think they will give a tough challenge to the "wolves". I would go for a draw in this interesting match.
