Bologna vs Roma Predictions

• Bologna have scored in each of their last five meetings with Roma, with both teams scoring in four of those contests
• Roma have conceded 11 goals in just five away games this season
• Bolgona’s five home games have featured 19 goals

Entertaining encounter expected

A 4-0 hammering at Napoli followed by a goalless draw at home to Sassuolo have suggested Roma’s role in the Serie A title race is only going to be a minor one and the pressure is on for them to rediscover the winning touch at Bologna.

While Roma are expected to end their two-game goal drought, they are no certainty to claim maximum points at a Bologna side who won 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico last season.

The additions of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pedro add great strength to an attack which already featured former Manchester City man Edin Dzeko, but it is in defence where Roma’s problems lie.

Paulo Fonseca’s side have conceded 15 goals in just ten league games and they have shipped 11 of those in just five outings on the road.

As well as losing 4-0 at Napoli, Roma were brushed aside 3-0 at Hellas Verona and they also played out a captivating 3-3 draw on their trip to table-toppers Milan.

They have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight away league matches, which points to a high-scoring encounter in Bologna.

Bologna lack Roma’s quality but they have netted 11 times in just five home league games this season and were also on the scoresheet in defeat at Inter (3-1) last weekend.

We predict goals and those looking for a correct score should take Roma to win 2-1, just as they have done in two of the last three head-to-heads.
