AS Roma 2-3 Bologna

Current streaks

Recent form

AS Roma

AS Roma's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Giallorossi struggling to find their footing in Serie A. Sitting 12th in the table with just 13 points from 11 games, Roma have won only two of their last six matches across all competitions. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 10 goals in these six games, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina. This high-scoring match stands out as a particularly poor result for Roma. Despite managing two clean sheets in this period, their goal difference of -4 highlights their defensive frailties. The team's inability to score consistently is also a concern, with only six goals scored in their last six games. Roma have alternated between wins and losses in their last four matches, failing to string together consecutive positive results. With 67% of their recent games seeing under 2.5 goals, Roma's matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, barring the anomalous thrashing by Fiorentina.

Bologna

Bologna have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The team have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacking, also scoring only 0.83 goals per game on average. Notably, 83% of Bologna's recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The team have struggled in European competition, losing their last two Champions League matches against AS Monaco and Aston Villa without scoring. Despite this, Bologna have shown resilience in Serie A, securing back-to-back victories against Lecce and Cagliari in their most recent league outings, which may provide a boost to their mid-table position.

Recent home/away form

AS Roma

AS Roma have shown strong form at home recently, winning four of their last six matches at the Stadio Olimpico. The Giallorossi have been particularly solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only three goals in these six games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals conceded per match. Their most impressive home victory came against Udinese, where they scored three goals without reply. Despite their relatively low league position, Roma have been tough to beat at home, with only one loss in this period coming against Inter Milan. The team's ability to grind out low-scoring victories is evident, with 67% of their recent home matches featuring under 2.5 goals. However, Roma's attack has been somewhat inconsistent, scoring 1.33 goals per game on average, which suggests they are relying more on their defensive prowess to secure results in front of their home supporters.

Bologna

Bologna's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing resilience but also inconsistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, Bologna have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating their ability to compete but also their struggle to maintain consistency. The side have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with three of their six away games ending 2-2, showcasing their offensive capabilities but also highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Bologna have struggled in European competition, suffering 2-0 defeats in both their Champions League away fixtures against Aston Villa and Liverpool. However, they've shown more potency in Serie A, securing an impressive 2-0 victory at Cagliari in their most recent away outing. With an average of 1.33 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game, Bologna's away matches tend to be closely contested affairs, with both teams finding the net in half of these encounters.
