AS Roma vs Bologna

Bologna have won their last two Serie A matches against Roma, and could win three successive games against the Capitolini for the first time in the competition since the period between 1958 and 1961 (five in that case, under Alfredo Foni first and Federico Allasio then).

Roma lost their last league match at Olimpico against Bologna (1-3) last April, and could suffer two consecutive defeats on home soil against the Emiliani for the first time since 1959.

For the second time in a row, Bologna will face Roma while above the Giallorossi in the table at the start of the matchday in Serie A - this had only happened once in the 21 previous meetings between the two teams in the top-flight.

Roma have lost three of their last four league games (W1) - as many as they did in their previous 13 Serie A matches (W4 D6). In this period (since the 8th MD), only Como have picked up fewer points (one) than the Giallorossi (three) in Serie A.

Roma have picked up 13 points in Serie A this season (W3 D4 L4). In case of a defeat against Bologna, this would be the worst start for the Capitolini after their first 12 Serie A seasonal matches in the last 20 years (13 points also in 2004/05 at this point of the season).
