Athletic Club vs Roma Preview and Team News
Athletic Club Team News
Athletic Club will look to recover back from a 1-2 aggregate deficit in the second leg against Roma. Their away loss in the first leg was part of a three-match run without a win in all competitions.
Following a mammoth 7-1 drubbing of Valladolid, Athletic lost 1-0 to Atletico Madrid before losing 2-1 away to Roma, and drawing 1-1 at home to Mallorca last Sunday.
To add to the challenges in their bid for a comeback, Yeray Alvarez was sent off with the game poised at 1-1. The guests grabbed a winner in the third minute of extra time and go into the second leg with an edge.
