For the most part of De Rossi’s time in charge, Roma have looked unstoppable at home, with the hosts winning seven and drawing one of their nine home matches across all competitions. Roma’s only defeat came against league leaders Inter, who remain unbeaten on away territory after fifteen league matches. The hosts have impressed at both ends at home under De Rossi, scoring an average of 2.25 goals per league game, while conceding an average of just 0.63.

Despite their impressive league position, Bologna have lacked consistency when playing away from home this season, with Motta’s side winning just four of their fifteen away league matches. The visitors have kept things tight defensively, conceding an average of just 1.13 goals per game; however, they have let themselves down going forward, scoring an average of only 1.07.

This bet has won in five of De Rossi’s six home league matches in charge of Roma and in eleven of Bologna’s fifteen away league matches. We expect the hosts to either win or draw here.

Roma have looked threatening going forward at times this season, registering an average of 4 shots on target per league game. This average has remained high in Roma’s home matches, with the hosts taking an average of 4.06 shots on target per home league match. It is worth noting that the hosts have taken a minimum of three shots on target in thirteen of their sixteen home fixtures.

One key contributor to this has been Paulo Dybala, who has registered an average of 1.2 shots on target per home league match. The Argentine has looked dangerous in recent home matches, registering an average of 1.17 shots on target per game across his last six league starts on home soil.

Dybala and Roma will be hopeful of capitalising on a Bologna defence that has conceded an average of 4 shots on target per game across their last seven Serie A away trips.

The bookies are offering value of 1.20 for the hosts to hit the target at least three times here, with value of 1.44 available for Dybala to contribute to this tally.

Roma have committed an abundance of fouls across their recent Serie A home matches, fouling an average of 12.78 times per game across their last nine home league fixtures.

One persistent culprit for the hosts has been Diego Llorente. The Spanish defender has been susceptible to fouling on home soil, committing at least one foul in six of his last seven home starts. Llorente will face the tricky task of dealing with Joshua Zirkzee, who has drawn an average of 1.25 fouls per game across his last twelve starts.

Bologna have also committed their fair share of fouls this season and have fouled an average of 13 times across their last nine away trips.

Victor Kristiansen has been a key contributor to this, committing an average of 1.29 fouls per game across his last seven away starts, fouling at least once in six of these seven outings. Kristiansen will be involved in a key clash against Paulo Dybala, who has been fouled an average of 1.57 times per match across his last seven league starts.

Value of 1.40 is available for Llorente to foul at least once here, with a price of 1.25 being provided for Kristiansen to do the same.

Only Lazio have accumulated more cards than Roma this season, with the hosts receiving an average of 2.68 cards per game. This average has been even higher in Roma’s recent home matches, with the hosts picking up an average of 3.22 cards per game across their last nine home fixtures, amassing a minimum of two cards in seven of these outings.

One player that has struggled to keep on the correct side of the referee on several occasions is Leandro Paredes, with the Argentinian picking up a thirteen cards across his twenty-nine league appearances. It is worth noting that Paredes has been booked in five of his last eight home Serie A starts.

The bookies are offering a price of 1.20 for Roma to accumulate a minimum of two bookings here, with value of 2.70 available for Paredes to be carded.
