AS Roma will try to make a decisive step towards a Top 3 finish in Serie A with a win at Olimpico over Bologna. Considering the form of the two sides, the bookies are right to rate a Roma win as low as 1.30.
The hosts are on the back of a marvelous 4-1 road win over arch rivals Lazio and another victory today would put them 8 points in front of 4th placed Inter, virtually securing a Champions League spot for next year. Roma has been playing really well since Spalletti took over, posting 9 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 12 matches in all competitions. The draw was against Inter and both losses were against Real Madrid, so you can`t hold those results against them. Roma has not under performed in a long time.
14th placed Bologna is arguably playing the worst football in Serie A right now. Recent results, as well as the home loss to last placed Verona in the previous round definitely suggest that. Bologna lost three matches in a row and have not won in 6 games. What’s worse, they scored a single goal in these last 6 matches! Bologna does not have much left to fight for, as they are pretty much safe from relegation and this might be the main reason for their recent displays.

Team news & lineups:
Roma is healthier than ever, with only Nainggolan and Gyomber missing. Bologna can’t count on Giaccherini, Destro, Morleo and possibly Taider.
AS Roma: Szczesny – Florenzi, Rudiger, Manolas, Digne – De Rossi, Pjanic – El Shaarawy, Perotti, Salah – Dzeko
Bologna: Mirante – Rossettini, Gastaldello, Maietta, Masina – Donsah, Brighi, Diawara – Rizzo, Floccari, Mounier
The hosts were generally solid against weaker teams this season and especially lately they won all matches that were supposed to be won. Roma is really looking consistent under Spalletti and it`s difficult to see them getting upset by a team in total disarray, like Bologna.
I expect another good performance from the hosts, who are also the more motivated side here. Everything points to a comfortable home win, so my tip is Roma to win and cover the 1,25 asian handicap. Roma has been very offensive under Spalletti, creating a lot of goal scoring chances every match and should be able to bang in two or more goals here – while Bologna seems unlikely to score. Prediction: AS Roma – Bologna 3-0.
