Roma will host Bologna at Stadio Olimpico in their Serie A Matchday 35 tie on Sunday night with kickoff at 21:45 EAT.
Roma head into the match off the back of a 3-1 away defeat to Inter Milan in Serie A last weekend, with Henrik Mkhitaryan’s late consolation strike failing to spur Jose Mourinho’s side to a comeback. The defeat ended their impressive run of 12 unbeaten games in Serie A.
With four matches remaining, the capital club still has a chance to finish in the top four as they still sit fifth on 58 points, eight points behind fourth-placed Juventus. However, that will need them to win all their remaining matches and hope that Juve slip-up.
Bologna, on other hand, are enjoying a fine run in Serie A currently having gone unbeaten in their last five league matches and are coming off a shocking 2-1 victory against defending champions Inter Milan. Goals from Marko Arnautovic and Nicola Sansone completed a comeback, while causing Inter a blow in their title chase last Wednesday.
I Rossoblu currently sit 13th on 42 points, four points outside the top-half. Therefore, they will be looking to build on their good form this weekend as they aim to push for a top-half finish.
