AS Roma hosts Bologna in round 23 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 7th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
The Roman club began the New Year quite unsuccessfully, having gained only one victory in five rounds. The Wolves lost three times and tied with Lazio. First of all, it is worth noting the unsuccessful actions in the defense: players often lose their positions; there is no coherence when playing in their box; the pivot zone often fails; the Yellow-Reds are slowly moving from attack to defense, and there is no compactness. Fatigue is also visible. Therefore, the assertive Bologna has good chances for a goal scored. As for Roma’s attack, everything seems to be good and the team rarely leaves without a goal scored, especially at home. The Romans have quick and skillful players, capable of breaching the saturated defense of the opponent. Let's not forget about Edin Dzeko, who has 10 goals scored and acts perfectly in foreign penalty areas. Therefore, the hosts will surely play for their goal.

Bologna is the middle peasant of the Italian championship, which is quite difficult to play with (even the leaders had difficulties playing with Bologna). The team demonstrates productive football, having scored 34 goals and conceded the same amount. The defense does not shine with its reliability, leaving a lot of free space for the opponent, especially on the flanks (this is only on the hand of Roma, which likes the game on the flanks). The positional defense of Bologna also has no coherence. Therefore, the visitors will probably concede, but as often happens, they will be able to score in return. The Red-Blues are very tenacious in the center of the field, exerting active pressure on the opponent and forcing it to make mistakes. The team looks good in single fights. Bologna works well at interceptions, densely filling the central zone, creating sharp counterattacks and trying to squeeze the maximum out of them. Thus, even the most reliable defenses cannot cope with the pressure of Bologna.
Roma is a favorite in the upcoming match, but I won’t bet on the Wolves because they are in a recession, and Bologna always causes problems for its rivals. However, both clubs are productive (they often score and concede a lot). Both ones and others conduct matches rather unstably, unexpectedly failing in defense. Therefore, I propose an optimal bet on “Both teams to score – yes”.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
