Last Game: Roma 2-1 Como
Sunday, March 2 at 5pm in Serie A

We said: Roma 1-1 Athletic Bilbao

Conference League winners three years ago, before reaching a Europa League final and semi-final, Roma have lost only two of their last 38 home matches in Europe. Putting 27 wins on the board in that spell, the in-form Giallorossi should start favourites - but Athletic are also a force to be reckoned with and will surely score at least once. Read more.
