Roma vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• Roma have won their last four matches
• Roma have won eleven of their last twelve home games
• Roma have kept three clean sheets in their last six

Hot home form sees Roma hard to oppose

You won’t find many teams in Europe with better home form than AS Roma. The Yellow and Reds have won 11 of their last 12 home matches. They excel at controlling the game, dominating possession, and seeing out matches when ahead. of the twelve games, they’ve kept a clean sheet in five of them.

They face Spanish side Athletic Bilbao, and the two teams will be familiar with each other, having met in the first round of the league phase. That match ended 1-1, with little to separate them.

Bilbao enjoyed a very good spell of form in the league phase, finishing second, while Roma had to settle for a place in the first knockout stage. Their home form was night and day compared to their away performances, finishing 15th overall but 4th based on home form. Roma’s home form is too good to ignore, and at 5/4, they are a good bet.

Both teams are well-organized defensively, so this is unlikely to be a high-scoring game. Therefore, I recommend a bet on Roma winning 1-0.
