On the eve of the last round of the championship the team gained momentum and gave a series of six matches without defeat in all tournaments - four wins, two draws. However, in a home meeting with Verona, one of the main outsiders of the current championship, the Red-Blue unexpectedly lost. Bologna opened the scoring on 20 minutes through Dominguez, but conceded twice before halftime, and at the beginning of the second half was also left in the minority - Pobega received a straight red card. At the same time, the Red-Blue equalized almost immediately, Dominguez scored a double, but the score was not tied - Castro cut the decisive goal into his own net. 2:3 - the first defeat for Bologna since the end of November.
In Serie A they are on the seventh line after 19 rounds with four points behind the European Cup competition with one game to spare. Also, recall that Bologna performs in the Champions League, where after six weeks is located on the 33rd line, deprived of chances to continue the fight in the playoffs.
Roma
After the return to the post of head coach Claudio Ranieri, the Giallorossi had a few bad matches, but gradually found their game. The apogee of progress was the victory in the previous round in the derby over Lazio. Roma, which held the meeting in the status of formal hosts, actually decided the outcome of the match already by the 18th minute of the game, scoring twice - Pellegrini and Salemakers. The scoreline remained unchanged until the end of the derby - 2:0.
Now Roma takes the tenth place in Serie A and approached the European Cup zone at a distance of 9 points. In addition, recall that the Romans play in the Europa League. According to the results of six rounds of the European Cup tournament Roma is in 14th place with a gap of two points from the top-8. The two remaining Europa League matches are scheduled for the end of January - away Yellow-Red will meet with AZ Alkmaar, and at home will take Frankfurt Eintracht.

Expert Betting Tips
Bologna, although lost in the last round to Verona, now on a good move, in addition, lost to Roma only one of the last seven face-to-face matches. Not in favor of the Romans here and weak away statistics - not a single win in 12 away games in all tournaments. So we suggest to start from the home team. We bet on Bologna and do not expect a lot of goals.
