AS Roma Team News
Many predicted that AS Roma could be a legitimate contender for the Champions League this season, but that is not the case so far. The very changeable form is the main reason for the fact that the home team welcomes this match in seventh place in the table. Although AS Roma is only 3 points behind the fourth-placed Lazio, the impression is that the home team will have big problems realizing their plan.
AS Roma has won only 5 points in the last 5 games and is in a series of 3 matches without a win. What is completely surprising is the fact that the home team won only 10 points in 7 games at home, with a very modest goal difference of 7:5. This is simply unacceptable for a team of their reputation, and it is clear that Mourinho’s team will have to wake up in the future.
That is the first thing they will have to change because the home field is the “key” to success.
Bologna Team News
Bologna has been playing “in waves” for years, and alternating series of wins and losses is an entirely normal thing for them. Four victories in the last five matches “pushed” the Bologna team toward the middle of the table. The guests are currently in position number 11, but the general impression is that they do not have the strength to do anything more this season.
A significant obstacle to tremendous success are games on away grounds. Bologna won only 4 points in 7 away matches. At the same time, the goal difference of 8 goals scored and 19 goals conceded does not seem promising. A lot is expected from Arnautović, but the big question is whether he can continuously be a player who will be a pillar of the team in crises.
History has taught us that Bologna is a team that can quickly fall into a series of negative results, and a defeat in Rome could start exactly such a series.

AS Roma vs Bologna Prediction
AS Roma wants to be in the Champions League, so the performance at home will have to be much better than the current one. Mourinho requires his players to impose total control on the field, especially in home games. Therefore, we believe that the home team will decide the final result, even though Bologna went into the break in much better shape.
Given that the holiday euphoria is still going on and that this is the first competitive match after a long time, we expect a somewhat slower pace of the match. This seems to us very much like a game where one goal could be decisive. We expect the home team to win, but we believe that AS Roma should not win too convincingly in this match.
