Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Renato Dall’Ara will be the centre of attention when Bologna and AS Roma square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A game. The Rossoblu aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Verona, but they will have a mountain to climb against the in-form Giallorossi. As important midfielder Tommaso Pobega is banned for Sunday’s clash, home win should not be considered.
The Romans, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 2-0 win over their bitter rivals Lazio. Claudio Ranieri’s men proved their worth in the Derby di Roma and given Bologna’s defensive struggles, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Paulo Dybala and Co. Defensive midfielder Bryan Cristante should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In the first half of the season, Bologna defeated Roma 3-2 at Stadio Olimpico, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
