Serie A peers Bologna and Roma meet in the first leg of the Europa League Round-of-16 this Thursday. Ahead of kickoff, the early betting slightly favors the away side, despite coming here in more unsteady form.
Out of the two, Bologna was the team that had to endure the play-off round, though in the end it was a fairly simple task for the home side, getting the job done with two one-goal-to-zero wins.
To be honest, Bologna have had a very good UEL run, and were very unfortunate to just miss out on automatic qualification. Out of eight matches, they faced defeat just once. This means that regardless of their ranking, there was only one point between the two in the league phase.
Noticeably, both Bologna and Roma suffered 2-1 defeats in the league last time out, against teams of lower ranking, which was perhaps due to having a bigger matter occupying their minds. This will be a challenging meeting for both sides to navigate, with neither wanting to fall behind, but at the same time wanting a good head start in the duel.

Our Bologna vs Roma Prediction
Out of their five home European matches, I Rossoblù have not yet been defeated, with two victories. Although three of these have been ties, Bologna have typically been the superior side in terms of offensive quality, averaging an expected goals of 2.05 per game compared to the 1.20 given away.
Moreover, despite losing last time out against Verona, Bologna are coming here with much better momentum than their counterparts, plus being victorious in half of their last six meetings, tying two, against Roma.
The visiting side aren’t very sound in their approach in big games on the road either; seven league games against the top Serie A teams have resulted in four losses and one tie. Taking all of the above into account, the early odds for a home tie no bet are definitely priced in our favor.
Our Bologna vs Roma Pick: Bologna Tie no Bet.
