AS Roma and Bologna square off in a Monday night Serie A fixture, with both teams aiming for a top-four finish this season.
The Giallorossi have been on a roll since the appointment of manager Daniele De Rossi, as they have lost only twice across their last 17 games, winning 12 of them.
Despite going a man down in their Europa League quarter-final second leg against AC Milan, they defended stoutly, while goals from Gianluca Mancini and Paulo Dybala helped them secure safe passage to the semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate win.
Bologna have been the surprise package in Serie A this season and are flying high under the tutelage of Thiago Motta. They currently occupy the final Champions League spot, hold a four-point lead over Roma, and travel to the Stadio Olimpico unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions.
However, they appear to have lost track slightly in recent weeks and head into Monday’s clash off the back of consecutive goalless draws with Frosinone and Monza.
