AS Roma vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction 26 September 2024
Added on 24 September, 2024
The highlight of the first day of the Europa League is the much-anticipated clash between two ambitious teams, Roma and Atletico Madrid!
Roma’s sixth place in the UEFA ranking speaks to their recent European success, having won the Conference League and reached the finals and semifinals of the Europa League. However, their domestic form has been inconsistent, with a recent 3-0 victory over Udinese marking their first win in five Serie A matches.
Atletico Madrid’s recent form has been mixed, with a narrow 0-1 loss to Real Sociedad but wins over Valencia (1-0), Las Palmas (3-2), Leganés (2-0), and Celta Vigo (3-1). Atletico remains one of the strongest teams in La Liga and is expected to perform well in European competition.
In our opinion, Atletico is currently more disciplined tactically, and their squad depth isn’t far behind Roma’s. As a result, the visitors have a strong chance of securing a positive result in this fixture.
