Roma’s dreams of playing in next season’s Champions League are hanging in balance, and they must get back on track this weekend. They face a difficult challenge on the road, as they come up against a Bologna side competing for eighth.
Jose Mourinho’s stay at Roma could be coming to an end, according to reports, as the former Real Madrid boss is being lined up with a move to PSG. However, the Portuguese will still be focused on the job at hand for his Roma side this term, as they are still fighting in two competitions. Their attention this weekend will be on the league, as they must claim maximum points in their battle to finish in a top four spot.
Roma comes into this fixture in poor recent form, as they have gone four without a win in Serie A. Over that period, they have suffered two defeats, which includes a loss last weekend. A victory for Roma this weekend could lift them back up to sixth, but even a win would see them remain two points off the top four.
Bologna also come into this clash in poor recent form, as they have gone five without a victory in Serie A. However, they could yet end the campaign with a run of victories that would see them finish eighth in the overall standings. Last weekend, they picked up a third draw in their last five matches.
Bologna’s run of five without a win is their longest in Serie A since going seven without a defeat in May 2021. However, they are unbeaten across their previous five home matches in Serie A, winning twice over that period.
Roma has avoided defeat in eleven of their previous 13 trips to Bologna. Over that period, they have landed seven victories and four matches have ended in draws. However, the two loses that they have suffered have come in their two previous trips to the city.
Roma has an excellent record on the road against Bologna, but they will need a reverse in their fortunes over recent weeks to get back on track this weekend. However, we could see their focus being on the Europa League this weekend, which means a draw could be a likely outcome.
