Bologna take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 35 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, May 14th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
I fully admit that the strong and sometimes daring Bologna under Thiago Motta at home is capable of taking points from Roma. If the team has been losing in the league recently, it's only in away matches. In terms of home performance, Bologna is among the top 7 teams in Serie A, having accumulated 28 points in 17 home matches. Meanwhile, Roma has collected 26 points in the same number of away matches in the league. Among the recent results of Motta's team at their home ground, we can highlight draws against Juventus (1-1), Milan (1-1), Lazio (0-0), and victories over Inter (1-0) and Udinese (3-0). Not bad, wouldn't you agree?

Roma's main strength is their performances at home. However, even at home, the wolves have recently been prone to setbacks. In their last five Serie A matches in Rome, the hosts lost to Inter (0-2), Sassuolo (3-4), and drew with Milan (1-1). Mourinho's men look weaker on the road. In their last five away matches in Serie A, they managed only one victory, with a draw against Monza (1-1) and defeats to Atalanta (1-3) and even Cremonese (1-2). There was also an unsuccessful Rome derby against Lazio (0-1) for Roma.
Mourinho's team has essentially given up on the championship, and they are currently outside the top 6 in the table. However, it is unlikely that Roma will drop below the seventh position. The team looks significantly weaker when playing away, whereas Bologna has only suffered three defeats in 17 home matches in the league, and just one in their last eight. In their previous encounter on the opponent's field, Roma suffered a defeat (0-1). I believe the hosts will at least secure a draw this time. The bet is 1X.
Prediction for the match: Bologna not to lose (1X).
