Our prediction: Roma – Bologna: Goals: -2,5

22.04.2024 18:30

AS Roma’s last league game was not played as defender Evan Ndicka had to withdraw in the 72nd minute due to chest pains and the Romans will return to Udine next week to play the remaining 20 minutes in a 1-1 draw. Bologna’s performance against Monza then ended in a goalless draw, and two of their games in a row have ended with that result.

AS Roma successfully managed a Europa League quarter-final rematch against AC Milan in the week, beating them 2-1 at home despite spending more than an hour of the game with ten men. Coach Daniele De Rossi had already earned a contract extension before the game thanks to his excellent work since his January arrival, and Rome are extremely happy with Jose Mourinho’s successor. And no wonder, the Romans hold fifth place, which will mean participation in the Champions League, and are eyeing a threat to their upcoming opponents’ fourth place finish.

Bologna have not scored a goal in four league games in a row (2-2-0), but their attack has betrayed them in the last two duels. The loss of Scottish midfielder Ferguson, who won’t return to the game until next season due to injury, is also an inconvenience. However, thanks to its solid defensive performance, it hasn’t lost five away games in a row (3-2-0), and it successfully managed the first meeting with AS Roma this season, which it won 2-0.

What to bet on:

Both teams boast excellent defences – even AS Roma have not scored three times in a row in the domestic competition. And since both teams mainly want to maintain their position in the top five, we will see a more cautious match.

Confidence:

7/10
