Roma travel to Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League (UEL) last-16 tie with a one-goal advantage after beating them 2-1 in Rome in the first leg.
That was the fifth of a six-game winning streak in all competitions for the Italians, as they aim to cement their place in the quarter-finals of the UEL.
Bilbao's form heading into this one is a lot patchier, as they are now winless in three matches over all competitions, and have only won once in five games overall, albeit which was an impressive 7-1 thrashing of Real Valladolid at home in La Liga.
The Spaniards are a much more formidable force at San Mames, where they are currently unbeaten in five matches across all competitions.
Roma are decent travellers though, and are unbeaten themselves in four games in all competitions, which has seen them win three of those to-nil.
Nonetheless, given Bilbao's home advantage and Roma's narrow lead, this is a difficult one to call in terms of who will go through to the quarters.
How the bookies view it: Bilbao to at least force extra-time
Bilbao are 4/5 odds-on favourites with BoyleSports to win the second leg in normal time, which would at least force extra-time. A draw is priced at 5/2, while a Roma victory is at 14/5.
Recent head-to-head: Roma sneak injury-time winner
As mentioned, Roma won the first leg 2-1 at home to give them the advantage heading to Bilbao. Inaki Williams actually gave the visitors the lead early in the second half, but Angelino equalised just a few minutes later before Eidor Shomurodov scored the winner in stoppage time.
Players to watch: Which Williams brother will prosper?
Nico Williams, brother of Inaki, scored the equaliser in Bilbao's 1-1 home draw with Mallorca in La Liga last time out, and has netted three times in his previous two home matches. He is 7/2 with BoyleSports to score anytime against Roma.
Shomurodov was the hero for the visitors in the first leg with his stoppage-time winner, and with this game looking like it could go down to the wire again, the striker could score a pivotal last goal once more at an ambitious 10/1 with BoyleSports.
Predicted lineups
Bilbao boast no fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash, although Yeray Alvarez is suspended having been sent off in the first leg.
Likewise, Roma have almost a fully-fit squad to choose from, with just Mehmet Zeki Celik out with injury.
Athletic Bilbao: Simon, Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Boiro, Jaureguizar, Prados, Berenguer, Canales, N Williams, Guruzeta.
Roma: Svilar, Ndicka, Hummels, Nelsson, Salah-Eddine, Kone, Paredes, Abdulhamid, Pellegrini, Soule, Shomurodov.
Anything else catch the eye?
Both meetings in the UEL this season have seen both teams score, so backing Both Teams To Score (BTTS) again at 5/6 with BoyleSports seems a safe bet among the more ambitious player bets we have explored.
