AS Roma vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both sets are even and competitive in their actions. Remember that there will be spaces from the first half, being feasible that one or two goals fall at that stage. He paints for Spaniards and Italians to alternate the ball and territorial dominance, since none is characterized by speculation. Also do not forget that the duel will be played in neutral field, a fact that helps much more to obtain this pick.
Athletic Bilbao :
The Basque team has played many pre-season friendlies, which were an express request of coach Gaizka Garitano. And this happened because he wanted to strengthen his interesting football proposal to the fullest.
At the moment the parties have been against hierarchy rivals, which have allowed the Basque coach to trust his team much more. It comes to match 3-3 against Paderborn, to overcome Borussia Monchengladbach 0-2, to draw 1-1 with Numancia and to match 2-2 against West Ham in regular time. His last preparation match was last Sunday against Racing de Santander, which lost 2-1.
Apparently, the “Lions” have what it takes to convert many goals, standing out for always advancing in block. Of course, there are some parties where he has not been able to keep his fence undefeated, this being very likely to happen on this occasion. Its goal can come through some individual action, not discarding either a play made from the spinal cord or a stopped ball (corner or free throw near the area).
Roma :
The capital has played some preparation matches to arrive in the best way at the beginning of the Italian league. It comes from beating Perugia 1-3 and overcoming 2-3 Lille in a match full of goals and emotions.
It has a new coach, which is also characterized by having an upright and vertical proposal when attacking. Of course, the “Loba” is still a weak eleven in defense, ratifying it by giving up a goal at least in the two friendlies we mentioned just now.
In this presentation, Rome is expected to advance the lines at times, trying to take advantage of the spaces that your opponent always leaves naturally. It has very young players in attack, which will surely explode this season (Cristante, Zaniolo, Kluivert and Under). Logic indicates that they appear from the first half and that they enable the experienced Bosnian forward center Edin Dzeko, which has already carried out several campaigns on the squad.
There is no previous background between the two paintings, this being the first match that Athletic Bilbao and Roma will hold in the European context.
