Roma Preview – Can Roma bounce back?
Roma suffered a 4-2 defeat away from home at Sassuolo last weekend in what was a particularly disappointing loss for Friday night’s hosts, but they return to their Stadio Olimpico for this upcoming clash against Bologna hoping to return to winning ways.
The hosts have posted just 1 win out of their last 5 matches though, but even so, Roma are still level on points with 4th placed Atalanta ahead of this Friday night encounter, so there’s plenty of incentive for Roma to turn things around here and steal a march on their Champions League qualifying rivals.
Indeed, all three points for Roma here would see them open up a 3-point lead over Atalanta who have to travel to Fiorentina this weekend, while Roma will be keen on building upon their recent 3-1 win away from home at Genoa and their 1-1 draw with local rivals, Lazio.
In addition, Roma have won the last two encounters on the trot against Bologna in a 2-1 win away from home and a 2-1 home win before that.
Bologna Preview – Can Bologna improve consistency?
Visitors Bologna sit in a mid-table position of 11th place in Serie A prior to their trip to Rome for this Friday night clash against Roma but they bring a 3-match unbeaten run into this clash having drawn 1-1 with Hellas Verona before posting back-to-back wins against SPAL and Brescia.
Overall results in recent weeks have been fairly solid for Bologna who have lost just 1 of their last 7 matches which includes wins against Atalanta, Lecce, SPAL and Brescia, although it should be noted that the two away wins during this sequence (Lecce and SPAL) were against teams sitting in the bottom four of Serie A.
Bologna have won 3 of their last 4 matches on their travels and also includes a 2-1 win at Napoli, but Napoli have suffered a dramatic fall from grace as they now sit in 10th place and some 9 points separate them from 5th placed Roma.
Bologna possess an away record of 4-2-5 17/18 and have already lost twice to top six teams in the shape of Juventus and Cagliari.
