Bologna vs Roma Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 17/12/2023, 03:56  by Devesh Jaganath in Serie A Predictions

Gamweek 16 in Serie A will see Bologna taking on Roma on Sunday evening. The match will be played at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, and the hosts will head into it in fifth place, while the visitors are in fourth, but they are level on 25 points apiece. Bologna have been much improved this season. They are currently holding the coveted Europa League spot and will move into the top four with a win here. The hosts claimed a 2-1 win over Salernitana last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to three matches, including two wins and a draw. Notably, Bologna have only lost two games in 15 matches this season, which is a record only bettered by the top two sides, Inter Milan and Juventus. La Dotta have been excellent at home of late, carrying a four-match winning streak and unbeaten in their last six on home soil, including five wins and a draw. The hosts held Roma to a 0-0 draw the last time they met but will be hoping for a bit more this time around. 

Meanwhile, Roma have gotten themselves into the top four with a record of seven wins, four draws and four losses. They come into this match following a 3-0 win over Sheriff in the Europa League in midweek, which saw them secure their place in the knockout rounds, finishing second in their group behind Slavia Praha. It's not only in Europe that Jose Mourinho’s side have been performing well, though. Roma played out a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina last weekend to mark their fifth consecutive league game without defeat. During that time, they recorded three wins and two draws. However, of their four league losses this season, three came in away matches, while they have only won two of seven on the road. Roma are unbeaten in three matches against this opponent, but the bookmakers have them down as the underdogs in this one.
