Bologna and AS Roma will lock horns with each other in Serie A this weekend. The match between Vincenzo Italiano’s side and Claudio Ranieri’s team will be held at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara and is scheduled to kick off at 5pm UK time on Sunday.
Bologna
Bologna are a modest club based in northern Italy, but they have been doing well lately. I Rossoblu were superb last season as they finished as high as fifth in the Serie A table, and there is a very good chance that they could do something similar this time around.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side are seventh in the Serie A table at the moment. Bologna have picked up 28 points from 17 matches and are only seven points behind fourth-placed Lazio and just points behind Juventus, who are currently fifth in the standings.
Bologna will head into the Serie A match against AS Roma on the back of a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Hellas Verona at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in the league. It came after a 2-0 victory over Torino in the league which followed a 1-0 win against Fiorentina at home in Serie A.
Team News:
Bologna are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against AS Roma. Lukasz Skorupski will be in goal for the home team and will have Emil Holm, Sam Beukema, Jhon Lucumi and Juan Miranda in front of him in defence. Remo Freuier and Michel Aebischer will be the two holding midfielders. Jens Odgaard, Giovanni Fabbian and Benjamin Dominguez will be the three attacking midfielders. Santiago Castro will lead the line for Bologna.
AS Roma
AS Roma are one of the biggest clubs in Italy. I Giallorossi always aspire to finish in the top four of the Serie A table and have the ambition to challenge for the Scudetto, but things are not going well for them right now.
Claudio Ranieri returned to Roma as the head coach in November 2024. Lupi’s form has improved under the Italian tactician, but they are still far from where they would like to be. Roma are 10th in the Serie A table at the moment with 23 points from 19 matches. The Roman club are as many as 12 points behind city rivals Lazio, who are currently fourth in the standings.
AS Roma will head into the Serie A game against Bologna away from home on the back of a 2-0 victory over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in the league. It came after a 1-1 draw with AC Milan away from home at San Siro in Serie A which followed a 6-0 hammering of Parma at the Stadio Olympico in Rome in the league.
