Athletic has started this season in good shape, in Champions League positions, despite the poor results of the first two days. Valverde’s men arrive at the European event with a streak of three consecutive victories in the League against Las Palmas, Leganés and Celta. Quite the opposite of Roma, who achieved their first victory this season in Serie A last weekend against Udinese by 3-0. The red and whites recover Nico Williams, injured in the Leganés game, although his ownership is in doubt, and Agirrezabala, who retired at half-time in the game against Celta. But Oihan Sancet is out at the last minute due to overload in his hamstrings, as reported by the club. The only confrontation between both teams was in a friendly in the summer of 2019, when they tied 2-2.
