Bologna – AS Roma

Bologna head into the clash at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara desperate for a point, sitting 16th with just one draw from four games and a meagre two‑goal haul. Across town, AS Roma sit atop the table, unbeaten after four victories and a dominant 12‑1 goal difference. The stark contrast in form makes the encounter a classic underdog test, with Bologna needing to tighten a leaky defence that has conceded five. Roma, meanwhile, will look to extend their flawless run and keep the gap at the summit widening. The head‑to‑head record looms in Roma’s favour, but a home crowd could prove decisive for the struggling hosts.
