Bologna vs Roma Prediction
Bologna Form
Bologna have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Juventus, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Empoli, who ran out 3-1 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo. In their last six Serie A home matches, Bologna have two wins, while they've drawn three and lost one. They scored six and conceded three goals.
Roma Form
Roma collected four points from a possible nine in their last three matches. An encounter with Monza brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Inter. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail as they beat Bayer Leverkusen by a 1-0 scoreline. Roma only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Serie A. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by eight goals to five.
We are opting for a draw, as Bologna have settled for a point after 90 minutes in several recent matches. Roma could be satisfied with taking a point back home.
Roma took five wins from their last 16 games against teams from the top half of the Serie A table. They collected 18 points, scored 15 goals and conceded 20. Bologna are looking at a record of 12 wins, ten draws and 12 defeats in the Serie A this season. Roma enjoy a record of 17 wins, seven draws and ten defeats in the Serie A.
