Match Preview – 14:00 Kick-Off at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna

14th placed Bologna have had a slight recent upturn in fortunes, winning 2 of their 3 last Serie A games. That upturn was a long time coming and a very welcome one, to say the least – Bologna had lost 5 and drawn 2 of their 7 league games before that. The Rossoblu have had a dismal season in front of goal, scoring just 29 times in their 30 Serie A games so far. So much of their attacking hopes are pinned on 8 times capped Italian striker Mattia Destro, but the striker has only scored 6 in the league this season.

Roma are trying their best to push Juventus all the way in the race for the Serie A title and though they have won 11 of their last 13 league games, they haven’t been able to close the gap on the Old Lady which stands at 6 points. Roma are the second highest scorers and have the second best defensive record in Serie A this season.

In the reverse fixture between the two, a hat trick from former Chelsea winger Mohammed Salah earned Roma a convincing 3-0 win over Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico. A repeat of that scoreline wouldn’t surprise anyone on Sunday. To read our prediction and Bologna vs Roma betting tips, read below.

Bologna vs Roma Predictions

Roma have lost just 1 game in their last 20 Serie A fixtures against teams in the bottom half of the table – they are usually pretty reliable fast track bullies. Additionally, while Roma seem to be free-scoring, Bologna continue to struggle in that regards. Everything points to an away win.

NetBet have odds of 7/5 for Roma to win with over 2.5 goals in the game and that offer is well worth taking. Elsewhere, William Hill have odds of 4/5 for Roma top scorer Edin Dzeko to score anytime and add to his tally for the season. Not wonderful odds, but something to stick in your accumulator.
