Bologna vs Roma Tips & Preview - Visitors face stern test
- Roma unbeaten in six of last seven matches under Claudio Ranieri.
- Bologna showing strong offense but shaky defense lately.
- Both teams promise a goal-rich and closely fought encounter.
Bologna vs Roma
Roma are aiming to maintain their recent resurgence as they travel to Bologna for an Italian Serie A fixture on Sunday.
A clash against the hosts is always a tricky affair, especially as they are also playing well lately. Both teams appear evenly matched at the moment and could serve up a closely fought contest, although their attacking quality could mean goals in this one.
Bologna Form
Bologna ended 2024 on a disappointing note losing 3-2 at home by Verona last time. Manager Vincenzo Italiano will consider it a minor blip as they had been unbeaten in their previous six matches, claiming four wins in that run.
Despite that defeat, Bologna can still be pleased with their campaign so far as they remain in the mix for a European place, sitting four points off the top six. They have plenty of quality going forward but that result also highlights a shaky defence as four of their last five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Bologna are often difficult to play against and have served up a few closely fought contests this season. They tend to eventually go on to win but four of their last five matches across all competitions have produced halftime draws.
Roma Form
Roma are on the up under manager Claudio Ranieri and are unbeaten in six of their last seven matches across all competitions. They have claimed five wins in that run, including a 2-0 victory over Lazio last time out, which will be viewed as a marker for their recovery this season.
Sitting 10th in the table, nine points off the top six, Roma will come into the second half of the season looking to make a push for the European places. They have shown some attacking quality in recent games and four of their last six matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.
One thing that must improve for Roma is their away form as they are winless on their travels across all competitions this season. However, they do have something to build on as four of their last five away matches have produced halftime draws.
Head to Head
Roma have the superior record in this fixture but Bologna have claimed the upper hand recently and are unbeaten in six of the last seven matches. Sunday’s hosts have won four times in that run, including a 3-2 away win at the Stadio Olimpico back in November.
Verdict
Roma will be desperate not to suffer a setback in their resurgence but face a tricky Bologna side, who are also showing some good form at the moment. There appears to be little to separate them heading into Sunday’s clash and should serve up a close contest that could be level at the break.
Both teams have plenty of attacking quality and should be able to produce goals in this one.
