In view of the appointments of Rome who have all been positive I would say that they can now aim for the victory and the passage of the turn the shape of Ranieri's Sqaudra, it can truly give excellent hopes to pass the turn against Bilbao Roma is not among the favorites to Success of the tournament, in fact just behind Lazio there would be Atletico Bilbao.

Bilbao did play well during the qualifying round. They got positive results from 8 matches with 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. In La Liga Bilbao also performed well, now in the top 4 with tight competition.
Facing Roma, of course, is not an easy opponent. The Roma vs Bilbao match will be interesting and very tight. The first leg will take place at Roma's home ground, they play well at home and I think they will get the advantage.

Bilbao vs AS Roma is a match that will be tight in this knockout phase because they are in good condition at the moment, under coach Ranieri Roma is slowly rising from the slump and their victory yesterday over Porto indicated that they are ready for the race. On the other hand Bilbao is a fairly consistent team in UEL their journey to get to the knockout phase is fairly smooth and in La liga they can also be relied on.
The first leg which will be held in Italy is indeed an advantage for Roma but I still believe that Bilbao can steal points, at least they can get a draw.
