Reduced by the victory in the first leg of the Champions League knockout rounds against Porto, Rome will host the new Bologna of Sinisa Mihajlovic at the Stadio Olimpico in the postponement of the 24th Serie A match day.

The Giallorossi are disputing an unpredictable championship more in the bad than in the good, but from the last challenge came out rather positively. The 2-1 at home against Porto gives him the opportunity to play for two out of three results in the return match, and if it had not been for that fortunate drive that led to the Lusitano goal we would be talking about an even better outcome. Also on the last day of the championship came a convincing victory (0-3 on Chievo) but what is lacking in Rome this year is continuity. And if you think of the first leg, the doubt can only be magnified. The efforts of the cup will perhaps bring Di Francesco to some change, first of all that of De Rossi and Nzonzi in the middle of the field. In the back door could see Olsen, still under evaluation, in defense Santon for the injured Karsdorp. In midfield Cristante is favored on Pellegrini, while in three to play the place on the attacking wings: Florenzi and El Shaarawy are the favorites, but Kluivert paws. Schick’s injury forces Dzeko to overtime, while the Turkish Under could at least be on the bench.

A victory and a draw in two games: this is the score of Sinisa Mihajlovic on the Emilia bench. Not bad for a team that has remained permanently in the relegation zone up to now and able instead of recovering thanks to these four points the Empoli quartultimo at an altitude of 18 points. If some time ago salvation seemed to be a business, now Bologna is in full struggle. To stay in A, however, you need to score points and, in addition to doing well in the head-to-head matches, it is also essential to gather some points here and there in the games where you least expect it. The Bolognese have now stabilized on the 4-3-3 of the Serbian coach, who still has some doubts. In defense is out Lyanco and is to be evaluated Gonzalez, with Helander ready in case of forfeit, on the left Dijks wants to recover the lane after being replaced by Mattiello against Genoa. No doubt in the median and on the wings, especially given the simultaneous absence of the disqualified Palacio and the injured Orsolini, while the most important runoff concerns the striker: Santander or Destro, with the latter finding the way back to the net after many days in dry.

In the first leg Bologna surprised everyone by defeating the Capitoline 2-0. The last match at the Olimpico was won by Roma 1-0.
