Facing a one-goal deficit after last week's first leg, Athletic Bilbao will try to keep their Europa League dream alive by beating Roma on Thursday.



Athletic Bilbao:
Athletic Bilbao will need to overturn a one-goal deficit to keep their Europa League dream alive, but they can take confidence from their impressive home record. Despite a frustrating 2-1 loss in Rome, they have won all four of their Europa League home games this season and boast the third-best home record in La Liga. They also have a strong history against Italian teams, winning eight of their last 10 home games in European competitions against Serie A sides. However, their recent form has been inconsistent, with two defeats and a draw in their last three games, including a 1-1 draw with Mallorca. Still, with Champions League qualification within reach in La Liga, Ernesto Valverde’s side will be determined to bounce back and progress in Europe.
Roma:
Roma head to Bilbao with a crucial one-goal advantage following a dramatic late win in the first leg. Their 2-1 victory at the Olimpico was sealed by Eldor Shomurodov’s last-minute strike, continuing their strong run in European competitions. Roma are in good form under Claudio Ranieri, remaining unbeaten in Serie A since the start of the year and riding a six-match winning streak. Their record in knockout ties after winning the first leg is impressive, having progressed from their last nine such ties. With Roma also in the hunt for a top-four finish in Serie A, they will be keen to keep their momentum going and advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
