On 23 August 2025, Roma will take on Bologna in matchday 1 of the Serie A season. The match will take place at Stadio Olimpico at 21:45. This is our betting forecast, information, and prediction for the upcoming match.

Last season, Roma finished in 5th spot, claiming a place in Europe, while Bologna finished in 9th position. Roma had a strong home record last season, while Bologna struggled to gain many wins away from home. 

Roma

After a good season last year, Roma will be hoping to get off to a strong start and gain 3 points at home against Bologna. Last season, Roma only lost 4 matches at home, winning 13, giving them one of the strongest home records in the league. 

Bologna 

Finishing in 9th spot last season, only 7 points behind Roma, Bologna will fancy their chances at causing an upset in Rome. Bologna are on a high after winning the Coppa Italia last season, beating AC Milan in the final. 

Team News

Gian Piero Gasperini has replaced Ranieri as head coach. Paulo Dybala may miss this match through injury as he underwent surgery. For Bologna, Lewis Ferguson is set to miss this game with a muscle injury, as well as Cambiaghi. 

Roma vs Bologna Betting Odds

  • Rome to win 2.13
  • Draw 3.26
  • Bologna to win 3.64

Roma vs Bologna Head-to-Head Statistics 

Over 33 matches between these teams, Roma has a total of 16 wins, with Bologna winning 7 times, and 10 draws. Bologna will feel confident as they have beaten Roma in Rome in the last 2 seasons. Last year's fixture ended in a 2-3 win for Bologna, and in 2024 they won 1-3. 

Roma vs Bologna Betting Trends

  • As Bologna won half of their away matches, including beating Roma, they are a strong betting option to get the win. 
  • Roma managed to win 13 of 19 home matches in Rome last season, which is very strong.
  • A draw may be a smart bet as these teams were only separated by 7 points last season.
