Bologna vs Roma Predictions

• Both teams scored in both legs of the Europa League tie between these sides
• Roma are winless in seven away from home
• Bologna have just one win in their last five at home

Both teams can strike in Bologna

Two teams struggling for form meet in Serie A on Saturday as Bologna entertain Roma in a 5pm kick off.

This will be the fourth meeting between these sides this season and the previous three have all been close. Roma won the reverse fixture 1-0, with Bologna then triumphing in extra time of their Europa League last 16 tie after a pair of score draws.

If Bologna are to qualify for Europe again this season they need to beat Roma, who sit 10 points above them in sixth spot, but the visitors need a win themselves as the top four remains just about within reach.

Bologna’s only win in their last five home games has come against struggling Lecce and Roma are winless in seven on their travels so both sides may have to settle for a point, and the best angle for our main bet looks to be backing both of these teams to score.

Bologna have just one clean sheet in their last seven games and they rarely draw a blank at home, having scored in seven of their last eight at home. Both teams have scored in seven of Roma’s last nine games and they have scored in 12 successive fixtures across all competitions so goals at both ends looks likely.

These sides drew 1-1 at this venue in Europe and a repeat result is the prediction. Bologna score on average exactly one goal per-game at home and concede just over a goal, while Roma have a similar strike rate on their travels with 19 goals in 16 Serie A trips.
