Game Preview
When AS Roma plays Bologna, who is known for flying high, at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on December 17, they will be up against an unexpected opponent for the final Champions League qualification slot.
With the potential to go to the Champions League, Bologna can undoubtedly cause the Romans problems in front of their home crowd. Joshua Zirkzee, who scored twice in a 2-1 victory in their last game over Salernitana, will be a player to watch for the home club. Despite giving up an equalizer to Lecce in the 100th minute at Via del Mare, Thiago Motta’s team managed to secure a spot in the top half of the table in the game before their last, despite a magnificent free-kick from set-piece expert Charalampos Lykogiannis that nearly gave them three more points. Even though the former Italian player was annoyed by the late error, his squad has only lost 2 of the 15 Serie A games they have played in 2023.Adama Soumaoro and Jesper Karlsson are still in the treatment area.
After winning three of their last 4 league games, Roma hosted Fiorentina to the Italian capital in their last game. While losing both Nicola Zalewski and first goalscorer Lukaku to red cards in a furious finish, Roma valiantly held out for a 1-1 draw. With the journey to 5th place Bologna slated for this coming game, the outcome maintained Mourinho and company inside the top 4 of Serie A on goal differential. The previous season’s defeated finalists, nevertheless, are now concentrating on the Europa Tournament. After receiving a red card against the Viola, Romelu Lukaku is anticipated to be substituted in attack by Andrea Belotti, while Gianluca Mancini is expected to recover from an injury in time to start. Nicola Zalewski, who was dismissed in that draw, is also serving a ban.
