Score During the Match 0-1
Playing at the Olimpico, Roma’s opponents scored first in their matches in four of seven matches. On the other side, Bologna scored first and took a 1-0 lead in four of their seven away games.
Roma
It hasn’t been the best of seasons for Roma especially in the last three rounds when they lost one and drew two of those games. The Giallorossi are currently seventh in the Serie A table with 27 points and conceded at least a goal in five of their last seven home games.
AS Roma have conceded an average of 0.93 goals per game since the beginning of the season in the league. AS Roma form stats indicate an average number of goals conceded per game of 0.88 in the last 8 league matches, which is 5.4% lower than their current season’s average.
Bologna
With the 3-0 home win against Sassuolo, Bologna have won their last 3 home matches in the league. The Rossoblu have won 4 of their last 8 matches in Serie A and are in the 11th position with 19 points. Bologna scored in all of their last seven games and five of their seven away matches.
Bologna stats show the team has picked up an average of 1.27 points per league game since the beginning of the season. Their form stats indicate that in the last 8 league matches the team’s points per game value has been averaging 1.63, which is 28.3% higher than their current season’s average.
The last three games between Roma and Bologna were very close ones. We expect another tense one come Wednesday as Roma want to come out of a three-match winless streak. In conclusion, we predict Roma to win this match since they will be all out to grab all three points.
Roma are averaging 1.20 goals per game this season and 1.00 while playing at home. In six of their seven home games, Roma scored two or fewer goals. With odds of 1.44 at 1XBet, we predict Roma to score under two goals.
Paulo Dybala is fit again and will be eager to play at his best, especially after winning the World Cup with Argentina. Dybala featured in nine games for Roma this term and scored five goals. Jose Mourinho is expecting a lot from Dybala after Tammy Abraham’s form dropped.
Roma’s Andrea Belotti has a hamstring injury and will miss the game. In addition, Ebrima Darboe is out an unknown amount of time.
On Bologna’s side, Joshua Zirkzee is unavailable due to a muscle injury. Also, Kevin Bonofazi is doubtful.
