Roma Win • 1.44

Roma had a good win in the Champions League in midweek but may live to regret conceding a late goal at home to Porto. They start this weekend in sixth place in Serie A and that's two places and a point behind the Champions League positions. Their next two games are against sides currently in the bottom four so they have a good chance to get points on the table before a crucial game against fourth-placed Lazio. Roma are unbeaten in their last six league games since an away loss to league leaders Juventus. At home, Roma are unbeaten in their last six league games, scoring at least twice in five of them and have only lost one home league game all season.
Bologna are 17th in the table and only out of the bottom three on goal difference.They have only won one of their last 15 league games, a surprise away win at Inter earlier this month. Overall Bologna have only won three league games all season and one of those was a home victory over Roma in September. They only have one loss in their last four away league games but the win at Inter is their only away league victory. Only eight points have been earned on the road this season with ten goals scored and only three teams have scored less than them. Roma are in decent form, are strong at home and can get the three points here.

Roma Win • 1.444

Roma will view this tie as an opportunity to register some easy points on the board and improve their goal difference as well, considering their opponents are struggling to stay afloat the relegation line.
Roma also has the home advantage going in their favor. On top of that, they have been nothing short of mesmerizing at home this season, with 18 unbeaten ties out of 21 attempts. It’s imperative to keep in mind that two of these losses were against Real Madrid and Tottenham.
Expect them to take three points from this tie against their struggling visitors, who have remained winless in 21 of their last 25 overall matches, and 20 of their last 21 away match-ups. Also, consider that the h2h ties are highly skewed towards the Roma, with 11 of the last 13 wins, and 13 of the last 15 at this venue going their way.

Roma Win And Total Over 2.5 Yes • 1.99

Roma has a potent offense and is playing at home where they have scored 13 goals in the last 5 games. They are in the chase of european spots in Serie A so they cannot afford to lose points here. I expect them to come out fast and score early on Bologna and secure a good lead by halftime.
