Bologna vs Roma

Bologna and Roma will square off at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in an exciting Serie A showdown.

A well-deserved 1-0 win at Spezia on the weekend made it three wins from Bologna’s last four Serie A matches (L1), extending their drawless run in the competition to six (W3, L3). Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men look to be finding their rhythm, as those three victories are as many as they had in their previous 17 fixtures in the competition (D7, L7). With four of their previous five league games won/lost witnessing the winner on the day keep a clean sheet, scoring first could be of paramount importance here. But even if they concede the opener here, there could still be a way back for Bologna, as they’ve come from behind to win two of their three Serie A home matches when falling behind this season (W2, L1). That’s because 11 of their 13 Serie A goals scored at home so far have come beyond half-time.

Roma will relish their chances in this midweek showdown, having beaten Bologna in four of their last five Serie A encounters (L1), scoring an average of 2.4 goals per game in the process. Moreover, ‘I Giallorossi’ have suffered just one defeat in their previous 12 top-flight visits to Dall’Ara (W7, D1), courtesy of a 2-0 downing in September 2018. Though they’ve won two of their last Serie A away matches (L1), Roma have already lost 11 league games on foreign turf in 2021, amassing more top-flight road defeats in a single calendar year only twice in the club’s history. But in a true ‘Jose Mourinho’ fashion, the visitors have registered a league second-high six Serie A clean sheets this season. The ‘Special One’ also boasts a 100% win ratio in Serie A against Bologna, having won all four previous managerial clashes against them in the competition.
