Bologna’s five-match unbeaten streak ended with a 2-3 defeat against Verona. In the five-goal thriller, Bologna were left with 10 men. A brace from Benjamin Dominguez could have saved a point for the home team, but Santiago Castro’s own goal secured a win for Verona.
After a tremendous 2023/24 season in which Bologna qualified for the Champions League, they performed decently despite losing their head coach and several key players. They’re now seventh in the table, and while another triumph looks unlikely, the hosts will surely fight for the Europa League.
Riccardo Orsolini leads the team with six goals. After the departure of Joshua Zirkzee, Bologna are far from their precision in the offence but maintained consistency in the defence.
Claudio Ranieri’s arrival in Roma brought some positive signs. In Derby della Capitale, his squad beat Lazio 2-0, securing a third consecutive Serie A victory on home soil. Alexis Saelemaekers and Lorenzo Pellegrini both scored.
After a challenging period, Roma have gradually started collecting points and now sit 10th in the standings. With 19 matches still to be played, the visitors can fight for the European tournament, but the competition is fierce on the upper side of the table.
Artem Dovbyk and Paulo Dybala led the team with five goals, respectively. Both players play vital roles, and the Italian coach has started using Mats Hummels actively in the defence. The German centre-back was outstanding against Lazio, and at 36, he’s not lost his composure.
Bet hereThe loss against Verona in the last round was the first in Serie A when Bologna were beaten by Inter. They’re tough opponents to defeat on home soil, and we think they will put up serious resistance.
If we look at the H2H stats, the hosts are on a three-match unbeaten streak against Roma. Despite the loss in the past fixture, we don’t think Bologna are likely to lose the second game in a row at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. They’ll focus on attacking from the first minute, and despite a brutal clash, we expect them to clinch at least a draw.
Our first pick for this match is Bologna, not to lose.
Bologna and Roma have been scoring regularly in recent fixtures. In addition, they’ve both struggled to keep a clean sheet, and we expect them to exchange goals in this game.
After the appointment of Claudio Ranieri, the visitors’ playing style changed drastically, and the team became more attack-oriented. Bologna, on the other hand, play with ultimate motivation on the home field against every opponent.
It’s unlikely that the clubs will sit back in the defence. The home team need to bounce back while Roma are on a great run, and another victory will help them advance. We anticipate an attacking display, and our second pick would be for both teams to score.
