Last Game: Empoli 0-1 Roma
Sunday, March 9 at 5pm in Serie A

We said: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Roma (Roma win 3-2 on aggregate)

Roma may have won just two of their last 12 away games in Spain, losing eight, but they are a team transformed under returning hero Claudio Ranieri. Confidence is sky-high in the visitors' camp, while their hosts have been off the boil for a few weeks. So, Athletic's hopes of a home final could be curtailed. Read more.
