Roma have not begun the season well, something that led to manager Daniele De Rossi being sacked, with a goalless draw at Cagliari being followed by a 2-1 home defeat against Empoli. There was then a goalless draw at Juventus before a 1-1 scoreline at Genoa, with the Serie A team hoping for an improvement in fortunes when it comes to Europe.

Goals have been in short supply for Roma, although the Europa League betting sites still make them favourites to overcome Athletic Bilbao, with Artem Dovbyk and Paulo Dybala having the potential to score goals and this is a team who have proved adept at keeping clean sheets, although Athletic Bilbao are sure to offer a strong threat.

The Spanish side are managed by Ernesto Valverde and they were fifth in La Liga last season, with Euro 2024 star Nico Williams sure to offer a lively threat for the visitors. On first glance, it appears that Athletic are somewhat overpriced and they recently flexed their attacking muscle when claiming a 3-2 away victory against Las Palmas.

It could be worth considering the visitors on the Draw No Bet market or alternatively opt for the Double Chance option, with a low-scoring game potentially on the cards according to the latest odds. The game might easily feature one goal or less, with Athletic Bilbao looking an attractive proposition when it comes to the Asian Handicap market.
