Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Roma win or draw and under 3.5 goals – 1.59
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Roma -1 goal handicap – 1.66
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime correct score 2-1 – 3.62
Roma Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
In Serie A, Roma won 59% of their home games while four games ended in a draw. Bologna on the other hand won three and drew five of their away games. In addition, there is an 84% chance that there will be under 3.5 goals.
Roma -1 Goal Handicap
Roma won ten of their games in the Serie A played at the Olimpico. In addition, against the bottom seven teams of the table, the Giallorossi won four of their six games at home, in all these games Roma covered the -1 goal handicap.
Anytime Correct Score 2-1
Twice Roma’s games ended with the score of 2-1 at home, while Bologna lost three of their away games by the same result. Moreover, the 2-1 score appeared twice in Roma’s other home matches and once in Bologna’s away fixtures.
Roma suffered their first defeat in 12 Serie A fixtures after losing to Inter in the last round. With that loss, the gap with fourth-placed Juventus increased to eight points. As a result, the chance for the Giallorossi to play in the Champions League next season seems very unlikely.
With the end of the season approaching, the main target for Roma is to do well in the semi-final of the Conference League and secure a European spot for next season in Serie A. Therefore, Mourinho needs to adjust his players’ focus to the highest possible level and win the coming matches.
Bologna made the surprise of the week by beating title contenders and reigning champions Inter 2-1 midweek in a postponed match. That could be a significant result to determine the Scudetto champion this season. Moreover, this is Bologna’s sixth undefeated match during which they also drew with Milan and Juventus.
As we can see, coach Sinisa Mihaijlovic’s team is not afraid to play with the top clubs despite their young experience. But the Rossoblu play with heart and are tough fighters as we saw in their last match with Inter when they came back after trailing by a goal.
Roma are the obvious favorites to win with the bookies but with Bologna’s recent form we prefer to pick a double chance of a home win or draw combined with under 3.5 goals.
