Roma failed to take all the points in their Europa League opener, drawing 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao, despite Artem Dovbyk scoring the opener. Despite conceding a late equaliser, the team, under new coach Ivan Juric, have won their last two Serie A games and are currently ninth with nine points from six games and unbeaten in their last five.

Roma will need to improve their away record to have any chance of finishing in the top eight in the Europa League, having won just two of their seven games last season.
