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 vs Bologna Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- AS Roma have a slight edge over Bologna and have 53 out of the 148 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Bologna's impressive 51 victories.

AS Roma vs Bologna Prediction
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.
Bologna have troubled AS Roma in the past and will look to pull off another positive result against the Giallorossi. AS Roma are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
