It’s Roma’s turn to host league-counterparts Bologna this Thursday in the Europa League, taking place at Stadio Olimpico in the capital city. The pair come into this game on a level playing field having tied 1-1 in the first leg.
Thanks to a fantastic side-foot finish from Federico Bernardeschi, Bologna began the scoreline with a 1-0 lead. However, some scrappy defending and goalkeeping resulted in Roma equalizing 20 minutes later.
I Rossiblu were very fortunate not to give away another goal with a similar scenario, though this time hitting the post. Bologna also hit the woodwork ten minutes later. This was a well-balanced meeting, so we should expect both sides to fancy themselves to earn their place in the quarter-finals.
Bologna have the upper-hand in terms of recent results, winning 0-1 on the road last time out, owing to an extremely early goal. In their last eight, Bologna have been confronted with defeat just once. On the flip side, Roma are in their worst form of this season, grabbing just two wins in their last ten.

Our Roma vs Bologna Prediction
A lot of offensive quality was shown in the first leg of this clash; it was a very even game, with both sides having a fair few chances, so this could easily be replicated once more as both sides are still well in the game.
Being two top Serie A teams, they’re both well-versed to the standard they’ll face. Both teams have netted in Roma’s last four meetings against the top-eight teams, two of these being on home turf. Against teams within this ranking, both teams have scored in Bologna’s last three away games. Taking everything into account, I really like the look of both teams to score at the available odds.
