The battle for the last Champions League spot is heating up as AS Roma host relegation-threatened Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico in a crucial match for both the teams.
With the fourth-placed AC Milan winning, and Lazio and Atalanta losing their respective matches, the Giallorossi has a fantastic chance of reducing their gap to the Rossoneri to just a single point. Eusebio de Francesco and his men have turned their fortunes around after suffering a 7-1 drubbing against La Viola a couple of weeks back. The Giallorossi are unbeaten in their last 6 league matches.
Three points separate the Rossoblu from safety with the relegation-threatened side on 18 points from their 23 matches. Mihajlovic and his men will need to find some results if they are to survive in the league this season. The Rossoblu have 4 points from their last 2 matches with their victory coming against the mighty Inter Milan.
The first encounter between the sides ended with Bologna winning 2-0 at their home.
