It’s one of the biggest games of the season for Roma and Bologna and their pursuit of the Champions League, and Forebet is here for all the latest data, trends and analysis to conclude the probability of a win in this match.
Roma are currently trailing Bologna in the league table, but they are also heading into this game after ending up in yet another European semi-final following a 3-1 aggregate win over rivals AC Milan.
Gianluca Mancini scored the game's only goal in the first leg before netting again in the second leg on Thursday.
Paulo Dybala scored the second, but Mehmet Zeki Celik was sent off in the first half so he now misses the semi-final.
Back in Serie A, Roma did not finish their game with Udinese due to the collapse of Roma's Evan Ndicka.
This game will now be played out at the end of April and it also means Roma have a game in hand over Bologna.
The gap is currently four on them, so a win in that game in hand and a victory here for Daniele De Rossi would throw his side back into fourth with just a handful of games left.
Roma's last win in Serie A was in the Rome derby over Lazio with Mancini scoring yet another goal.
He is now on seven goals for this season, with Dybala scoring 14 and behind Romelu Lukaku, who has 18. The Belgian, however, has not scored for a while.
The previous meeting between these two back at the Renato Dall'Ara saw Bologna win 2-0. Nikola Moro scored in the first half that day, as Rasmus Kristensen unfortunately grabbed an own goal.
This is proving to be one of Bologna's best-ever seasons in Serie A, and fate is in their own hands to get into the Champions League.
They are, however, heading into this game after back-to-back 0-0 draws against Frosinone and Monza, although they did manage to beat Salernitana just before this.
Bologna saw goals from Riccardo Orsolini, Alexis Saelemaekers and Charalampos Lykogiannis that day, as Giovanni Fabbian scored deep into stoppage time in the game before this against Empoli.
Bologna have now scored 45 goals this league season and have a stunning record of just 25 let in.
Forebet now predicts a draw here and for the game to see under 2.5 goals, keeping Bologna in fourth spot as a result.
