AS Roma
AS Roma are one of the biggest clubs in Italy and have a rich history. In recent years, Lupi have challenged for the top four in the Serie A table and have lofty ambitions of becoming regulars in the Scudetto race.

Roma will take on La Liga club Athletic Bilbao at Stadio Olimpico in Rome in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening before the match against Venezia in Serie A. Ivan Juric’s side won 3-0 against Udinese in Rome in the league this past weekend which came after a 1-1 draw with Genoa away from home in the league.
Team News:
AS Roma are likely to line up in a 3-5-1-1 formation. Mile Svilar will be in goal for the home team and will have Gianluca Mancini, Evan Ndicka and Angeliño in front of him in defence.

Artem Dovbyk will lead the line for Roma.
Venezia
Venezia are a modest club in Italy who are happy to be just in Serie A. I Leoni alati finished third in Serie B last season and clinched promotion to the top flight of Italian football via the playoffs.
