Roma team news

Roma enter the match with a partially reshaped side following managerial and squad changes over the summer. New signings such as Evan Ferguson and Matias Soule could feature prominently, with summer arrivals also shoring up defensive and midfield options.

However, absences are significant: right-back Mehmet Zeki Celik is suspended, while creative captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and winger Leon Bailey remain sidelined due to muscle injuries—both expected to return in early September. Paulo Dybala is fit again and likely to feature just behind the main striker, while coach Gasperini has prioritized boosting attacking depth and versatility.

Bologna team news

Bologna, led by Vincenzo Italiano, are also adapting to losses in the transfer market - key men Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema have departed, leaving notable gaps in attack and defense. The squad’s defensive issues are compounded by a suspension for left-back Juan Miranda (carrying over from last season) and a thigh injury to full-back Emil Holm, who will miss at least another month.
