Roma vs Athletic Club Preview and Team News

Roma Team News

Roma extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 10 matches after defeating Como 2-1 at home. The hosts were trailing in the first half, but the goals from Alexis Saelemaekers and Artem Dovbyk ensured their comeback.

Now they’ll take on Eintracht, following their dramatic victory over Porto. The spirits should be high for Claudio Ranieri’s men as Roma have a four-game winning streak at Stadio Olimpico, netting four goals in the process.

13/02/2025 UEFA Europa League Porto 1-1 Roma Draw
09/02/2025 Serie A Venezia 0-1 Roma Win

The majority of players have recovered from injuries, and the club will present an optimal lineup. Only Renato Marin is sidelined, but the goalkeeper is mostly playing for the U20 squad. 

Roma predicted lineup vs Athletic Club (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Celik, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Kone, Cristante, Angeliño; Soule, Dybala; Dovbyk.

Athletic Club Team News

Bilbao’s six-game unbeaten run across all competitions ended against Atletico Madrid in LaLiga, where Ernesto Valverde’s men lost 0-1. Despite plenty of chances, they failed to convert moments and eventually succumbed to a defeat.

However, Athletic have been convincing during the group stage of the Europa League, scoring 15 goals from an xG total of 10.4. The finishing will be vital as they’ll aim to end a four-match winless streak on the road.

08/02/2025 La Liga Athletic Club 3-0 Girona Win
02/02/2025 La Liga Real Betis 2-2 Athletic Club Draw

The visitors will be without Alvardo Djalo and Oihan Sancet. The latter’s absence will be especially noticeable as he’s netted 13 goals from midfield this season already. 

Athletic Club predicted lineup vs Roma (4-2-3-1): Simon; Berchiche, Alvarez, Vivian, Gorosabel; Jauregizar, Vesga; Williams, Gomez, Williams; Berenguer.

Roma vs Athletic Club Prediction

  • Pick: Roma to Win
  • Odds: 2.22 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Roma 1-0 Athletic Club

Roma’s powerful home displays have seen them win 10 out of 11 previous outings across all tournaments. Under Claudio Ranieri, they’re more organized in the defence and the offence.

Recently, Athletic have had bad stats on the road, and we think they’ll find it challenging to get a positive result against the hosts. Moreover, without Sancet, they’ll lack a key presence in the midfield.

We expect a tense and tumultuous match in which even a single goal can decide the outcome. In our opinion, the hosts are slight favourites, and our first pick in the game would be Roma to win. 

Roma vs Athletic Club Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
  • Odds: 1.71 (22Bet)

In the playoffs, where every mistake could be decisive, these teams will focus mainly on defence. Valverde prefers a pragmatic approach, and on the road, the head coach will choose a cautious strategy.

Roma, on the other hand, will have an advantage in possession, but we don’t expect a reckless assault from them. At the same time, Athletic stand firmly in the defence, and creating a lot of moments against them won’t be easy.

As it is the first leg, we think it won’t produce a lot of goals. In contrast, the encounter will be closed, and our second pick is under 2.5 goals.
