Bologna - Roma predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Bologna on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Roma will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.62 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Bologna clashed against Hellas Verona in the previous round, which ended quite poorly for them. Even though they were hard favourites in a home game, they quickly fell behind in the first half and went on to lose the game 2:3.

The Giallorossi are coming off from a decisive home victory against Lazio. At odds of 2.54 on a home win, few expected such a result – though The Giallorossi already established dominance in the first half.

Bologna leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Serie A matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

On one hand, the hosts will not have an easy time of snatching 3 points away from Roma. On the other, only around half the season is over, meaning there’s a lot of time left to earn the 4 points needed to get a qualification to the Europa League.

Bologna and Roma previously played against each other this season, and Roma were defeated – though it was an admittedly close defeat. Bologna are considered the underdogs despite their victory and the home-field advantage, though.

Combining Home Win and Draw into a Double Chance wager is the safest course of action, though it’s still not without risks. It should offer decent value at odds of 1.51, though.
