AS Roma vs Bologna Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th January 2023

The Serie A returns to the fold after the World Cup break with a set of important fixtures this week as Bologna lock horns with Jose Mourinho's AS Roma side at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.

AS Roma vs Bologna Preview

Bologna are currently in 11th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side edged Hellas Verona to a 1-0 victory in a friendly last month and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

AS Roma, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Giallorossi eased past RKC Waalwijk by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

AS Roma have flattered to deceive in the Serie A this season and will need to be at their best in their remaining matches. The likes of Tammy Abraham and Nicolo Zaniolo have been impressive this season and will need to step up in this fixture.
