Bologna vs AS Roma Match Preview

Bologna host Roma in the thirty-fifth round of the Italian Serie A.

The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw away to Sassuolo, completing five consecutive games without a win, but remain within striking distance of eighth place which could potentially earn them a European ticket. In their last two home games, the Northern Italian side have held both Milan and Juventus to 1-1 draws, thus having only three defeats in seventeen home games which shows how tough an opponent they are.

The visitors, on the other hand, are coming off another win, this time over Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League with a 1-0 victory and will travel to Germany in a couple of days to try and book a spot in the final of the competition where they will face either Juventus or Sevilla. With their minds on European games and several absences affecting them, Roma have picked up just two points in their last four league games which has left them five points off fourth place. 

In conclusion, I expect a game in which Roma will save players because of Thursday's replay while the home side are very hard to lose at home. I will bet 3 points on the double chance 1X at odds of 1.60.
