AS Roma host Bologna in the second leg after a balanced 1:1 draw in the first match, leaving everything to play for. Both teams created chances in that encounter, and with qualification on the line, another competitive and tense battle is expected in Rome.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Given the attacking patterns in recent head-to-head meetings and both teams’ current form, goals at both ends look highly likely.
Roma come into this clash under some pressure, as their recent form has not been entirely convincing. They are also starting to lose ground in the race for a top-four finish domestically.
At home, however, Roma remain a strong side and will rely on their supporters to push them forward. They are expected to take initiative, especially given the level aggregate score.
Bologna appear to be in better rhythm, having won five of their last seven matches. Their confidence is growing, and they have shown the ability to compete consistently at a high level.
Importantly, Bologna have been effective going forward, which gives them a real chance of scoring even in a difficult away fixture.
