Athletic Bilbao vs AS Roma Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
AS Roma have a slight edge over Athletic Bilbao and have won only one out of the last three matches played between the two teams, with the other two teams ending in draws.
Athletic Bilbao have won eight of their 10 matches at home against teams from Italy in all competitions, with their only such defeat coming against Torino in February 2015.
After consecutive victories away from home against teams from Spain in the 2002-03 UEFA Champions League season, AS Roma have won only two of their last 12 such games in the competition.
Athletic Bilbao have won their last four matches at home in the UEFA Europa League - their longest such run in a major European competition since 1997.
Prediction: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Roma (Roma win 3-2 on aggregate)
Roma may have won just two of their last 12 away games in Spain, losing eight, but they are a team transformed under returning hero Claudio Ranieri. Confidence is sky-high in the visitors' camp, while their hosts have been off the boil for a few weeks. So, Athletic's hopes of a home final could be curtailed.
