AS Roma only needs a draw in the second leg to ensure they truly deserve to be contenders for the Europa League title. In my opinion, AS Roma journey to win the trophy will be much easier if their strength is ignored by other contestants, they can create surprises in every match. Claudio Ranieri once created a miracle with Leicester, perhaps that history will repeat itself. If AS Roma manages to lift the trophy, Claudio Ranieri will truly be a legendary manager who won a trophy in a unique way, as Jose Mourinho once said.
Based on the Odds displayed for the second leg match, AS Roma strength is indeed not so calculated, where Athletic Bilbao looks very favored, we realize that they will play in front of their own supporters. AS Roma must work harder than ever to be able to realize their dream of winning the trophy, or at least reaching the quarter-finals.

Poor AS Roma, unfortunately this year did not go well for her, in the past he had played well in this contest and unfortunately now he is reduced to the shade of herself.
I honestly are not so expert to understand if it manages to recover, but the situation is not the best.
They must be patient and calmly arrange the problems.

AS Roma did not play well this season due to the mistakes of the previous coach, but after the change of coach AS Roma slowly found their identity again, they even realized that AS Roma has a big name so they should be able to be consistent in the European league, and this was proven in the first leg they managed to achieve perfect results. Basically the coach used to be bad, then finally after changing coach Ranieri AS Roma's game was good again.

So I'm sure under Ranieri AS Roma can rise again especially since they have quite good players, especially Dybala. In the second leg even though Bilbao is very favored, it doesn't mean they can easily beat AS Roma, we know Ranieri is a very experienced coach, he certainly has his own way to face Bilbao who will definitely play openly in the second leg because they will look for a quick goal to catch up on the aggregate. AS Roma in this match will definitely play defensively by only relying on counterattacks. So I'm sure AS Roma will be able to get through the second leg and advance to the next round.
