&lt;p&gt;One win and three defeats in their last four games: Roma host Bologna and are looking to turn things around and try to overtake their opponents in the standings. They will need all three points and a good break if they’re to go into the Napoli game in the best frame of mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Rossoblù, on the other hand, have steadied themselves in the league. They haven’t lost since 25 August and won their two most recent matches – against Cagliari and Lecce. Taking all three points in Rome would set Italiano’s side up for another high finish this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won their last two Serie A matches against Roma, and could win three successive games against the Capitolini for the first time in the competition since the period between 1958 and 1961 (five in that case, under Alfredo Foni first and Federico Allasio then).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma lost their last league match at Olimpico against Bologna (1-3) last April, and could suffer two consecutive defeats on home soil against the Emiliani for the first time since 1959.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the second time in a row, Bologna will face Roma while above the Giallorossi in the table at the start of the matchday in Serie A - this had only happened once in the 21 previous meetings between the two teams in the top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have picked up 13 points in Serie A this season (W3 D4 L4). In case of a defeat against Bologna, this would be the worst start for the Capitolini after their first 12 Serie A seasonal matches in the last 20 years (13 points also in 2004/05 at this point of the season).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won their last two league matches without conceding; the Emiliani could collect three successive wins while keeping a clean sheet in each of those for the first time in Serie A since 1973 (one of the three meetings against Roma, won 1-0 at Olimpico).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have hit the woodwork seven times in Serie A this season (four of those at Olimpico), fewer only than Cagliari (nine); in general, in the last four top-flight seasons (since 2021/22), the Capitolini have hit the woodwork more times than any other side in the competition: 59 (both 56 Juventus and Napoli).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two players with the most touches in the opposition box without yet having found the net in Serie A this season belnog to Bologna and Roma: Dan Ndoye (for the Emiliani, first in this standing with 34 touches) and Lorenzo Pellegrini (for the Giallorossi, second with 27).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paulo Dybala has scored seven goals against Bologna in Serie A, although none of those in the two matches for Roma. Only one Argentine player has netted more against the Emiliani in the top-flight: Gabriel Batistuta (9), his last three for the Giallorossi, between 2001 and 2002.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After scoring against Lecce, Riccardo Orsolini (10 goals in 2019 and 2024, 13 in 2023) became the first Bologna player to find the net at least 10 times in three different calendar years in Serie A since Marco Di Vaio (four, between 2008 and 2011). He could score for four matches in a row for only the second time in the competition, after December 2021-January 2022 (4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Pisilli (Roma)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MANGANIELLO (RASPOLLINI – DI GIOIA) IV: PICCININI, VAR: MERAVIGLIA, AVAR: MARINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Roma (Sunday 24 November, 18.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio-Bologna (Sunday 24 November, 20.45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
