Bologna vs AS Roma – Match preview and team news With only five matches remaining before the season ends, AS Roma prepares to face Bologna away from home in matchday 34 of Serie A and will look to secure the crucial three points and keep pushing for the top four spot. Bologna vs AS Roma – Match preview and team news Date: Saturday, 25th April. Kick-off: 5pm BST.
Venue: Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, Bologna. Bologna team news Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano faces a challenging selection period following an exhausting Europa League campaign and a string of domestic injuries. Lukasz Skorupski is ruled out with a hamstring strain; this likely hands a start to youngster Massimo Pessina or Federico Ravaglia.
The attack is also depleted, with Thijs Dallinga and Federico Bernardeschi both sidelined due to muscle and thigh problems respectively. Benja Domínguez, who was battling a hip complaint, has now returned to training and is available. On a positive note, core players like Lewis Ferguson and Remo Freuler remain available to anchor the midfield.
Riccardo Orsolini and Santiago Castro will look to increase their combined tally of 15 goals and help Bologna repeat their recent Europa League success against the Giallorossi. AS Roma team news AS Roma enters this matchday fixture with a significant boost as several key figures return to the fold. Most notably, star forward Paulo Dybala is back in the matchday squad after recovering from a knee injury.
He is joined by Wesley and Devyne Rensch, who have overcome hamstring and thigh issues respectively. However, the midfield remains a concern for manager Gian Piero Gasperini; captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and Manu Koné are still sidelined with muscle injuries. Furthermore, the Giallorossi continue to be without long-term absentees Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson in the striking department.
