Despite a poor finish to the 2024/25 Serie A campaign, Bologna’s recent head-to-head record against AS Roma gives them some hope ahead of Saturday’s encounter. They are unbeaten in five consecutive meetings and have even returned home with victories from their last two visits to the Stadio Olimpico.
AS Roma team overview
AS Roma enjoyed a brilliant second half of the 2024/25 Serie A season, winning 14 of their final 18 league matches, drawing three, and losing only once — away to Atalanta in mid-May. Their 78% win rate over that stretch was among the best in Europe last season, and fans will be hopeful that the Giallorossi can carry this outstanding form into the new campaign.
In terms of team news, Lorenzo Pellegrini is sidelined with an injury, while Edoardo Bove remains out due to heart issues.

Bologna team overview
Unlike AS Roma, Bologna ended the 2024/25 Serie A season on a disappointing note. The Rossoblù managed just one win from their final eight matches over the last two months, slipping down to ninth place. However, their Coppa Italia triumph ensures that Vincenzo Italiano’s men will still feature in European football this autumn. In terms of away form, Bologna have failed to win any of their last four Serie A matches on the road.
As for injuries, Ciro Immobile remains the only absentee and is not expected to feature on Saturday.

Prediction
Analyzing the recent Serie A form of both teams, AS Roma enter this game as clear favorites. They boast a 78% win rate over their last 18 league matches and have won 10 of their last 12 at the Stadio Olimpico — a convincing case for their superiority heading into this clash. Bologna, on the other hand, struggled badly in the final weeks of the 2024/25 season, failing to win seven of their last eight league matches. Given Bologna’s poor finish and Roma’s formidable home form, a win for AS Roma looks the most likely outcome.
Three reasons we expect Roma to Win
- AS Roma are undefeated in 12 consecutive Serie A home matches, winning 10 out of the possible 12
- Bologna have failed to win 7 of their last 8 Serie A matches
- AS Roma have lost only once in the last 8 matches across all competitions (6W 1D 1L)
