This could be an interesting match as Bologna have their presumed home advantage while Roma are ahead 6 points in the Serie A table.

Insights:
  • Bologna haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Roma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at CSKA Sofia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Roma form and stats

Playing away, Roma have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Serie A this season.

The attacking players of Roma have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 230 minutes.

Roma lost away at CSKA Sofia (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Sassuolo in the Serie A.

A quick return to home after this game, as Roma are hosting Torino in the Serie A only four days away.

Roma find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Roma manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Bologna won two, Roma won five and three draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
