"Despite snatching a 1-1 stalemate when they travelled to their domestic foes for their first-leg showdown last week, the former Atalanta boss does find some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Failing to pick up any kind of momentum over the weekend as they suffered a second-half collapse away at Como as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss, Roma have won just a pair of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions."
"Not featuring over the past two months, Argentinian superstar Paulo Dybala remains on the sidelines with a knee injury. Likewise, international compatriot Matias Soule is still dealing with a growing issue and is not expected to play any part here."
"Despite opening 2026 in the midst of an extended wobble, Bologna have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Despite missing out on the chance to claim a first-leg advantage last week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate in Emilia-Romagna, the Greyhounds have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions."
Roma hosts Bologna in a crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg on Thursday night. Roma has struggled recently, winning only two of their last ten matches across all competitions and suffering a 2-1 defeat to Como over the weekend. Key players Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule remain sidelined with injuries, though Evan Ndicka may return from suspension. Donyell Males, who has scored seven Serie A goals since joining from Aston Villa, will lead Roma's attack. Bologna arrives in strong form, having lost just once in their previous nine matches across all competitions. The first leg ended 1-1, setting up a tightly contested second leg with both teams competing for a quarter-final spot.
