Bologna vs Roma Betting Tips

Bologna have won just four games all season, but they’ve been playing their best football of the season in recent weeks. They’ve won two straight games and three of their last four. Wins over Carpi, Atalanta and Verona may not be beating the best of Serie A, but still a pretty good run of form moving them into 16th place.

Their challenge on Saturday afternoon will be third placed Roma. After a busy spell of games with lots of Champions League football, Roma’s squad will be pleased with the extra rest offered by the international break.

Before the break, Roma comfortably beat Rome-based rivals Lazio 2-0 and they’re currently just one point behind joint first place Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Fresh Roma

Squad depth might be a problem for Roma all season long, but they haven’t played a game since November 7, which should ensure that the XI on the field are fresh and that spells trouble for Bologna.

2. Bologna are less strong against top teams

Bologna have done what they needed to do against some lesser opposition, but we’re not as confident that they’ll manage a similar performance against one of Serie A’s best teams.

3. Still good odds

Roma are coming in at near even odds with 3/4 representing a pretty strong line in that market.
