Bologna vs AS Roma – Prediction, and Match Preview
Bologna vs AS Roma – When Roma lost 0-2 at home to direct rivals Inter Milan last weekend, it dealt another serious blow to their Champions League aspirations.
As a result, Jose Mourinho’s team dropped to seventh position and are now five points behind I Nerazzurri in fourth place.
The fact that the Portuguese manager and his team are now playing Bayer Leverkusen in a UEFA Europa League semifinal doubleheader just adds to the difficulty of their situation.
To keep his key players fresher for the second leg of the European semifinal on German soil, Mourinho will undoubtedly be tempted to change his team against Bologna on Sunday.
Even with their usual starting lineup, Roma has been having a terrible time lately. They have lost their last four league games.
La Lupa’s biggest issue has been their lack of effectiveness in the final third as they have only been able to score twice in their last three league games.
Bologna has lost just three of its 17 Serie A games played in front of home fans this season, so the Romans’ trip to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara won’t be an easy feat.
Despite playing teams like Inter Milan, Lazio, Udinese, AC Milan, and Juventus along the way, Bologna has gone undefeated in their last five league home games.
Bologna vs AS Roma – Betting Analysis
With 25 victories, 12 ties, and just 9 losses in their last 46 games versus Bologna, Roma has fared significantly better in this series than Bologna.
In the rematch, which was held in the capital at the beginning of 2023, the Romans prevailed by a slim 1-0 margin.
In none of the previous four head-to-head meetings between these rivals, more than one goal was scored.
Roma is in much worse need of points, but there isn’t much to suggest a happy ending for their supporters on Sunday.
This season, Bologna has been particularly challenging to defeat in the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, so we’ll take the value and support them to win at the tempting 3.40 odds.
