We end the Serie A weekend on Monday evening, with two games taking place. The first kick off is a huge game in the hunt for a spot in the top four. Roma are the home side, they're in 5th at the moment, and four points behind Bologna above them in 4th. But with Roma having a game in hand, a win here would put the race in their hands
Roma Form GuideI think Roma have been excellent in the second half of the season, and definitely deserve to be up where they are in the standings. The top four is on, but won't be easy, although of course, this game is going to go a long way to deciding things.
Roma haven't lost in the league since they lost 4-2 against Inter Milan, all the way back in February. They've been moving forward nicely, and come here on the back of a win in Europe during midweek, beating fellow Italian side AC Milan 2-1. They've not completed a league game since April 6, as their game was abandoned last week, but did win that last league game 1-0 at home to Lazio.
Bologna Form GuideBologna have been flying high all season, playing above expectations and they are six games away from landing a top four spot. Roma are potentially their only challenger to that, and this game is likely to have a huge impact on what the outcome is.
Bologna come into this one on the back of a four game unbeaten run, the most recent two games from that have been draws, and the first two were wins. Last weekend, they drew 0-0 at home to Monza, a game they will be disappointed with. Before that, a draw away at Frosinone and again I think they will be disappointed with that.
Match PredictionA big game at the top. I've got a small question mark over Bologna with how they've played in their last two games, and couple that with being away from home, I am siding with Roma to win this one. The home side can get three points here, and take a massive step forward in trying to steal 4th spot.
