Roma and Bologna prepare to battle for the three points in the final game of the 24th Serie A matchday. With a win, the Giallorossi could close the gap with some of the teams involved in the Champions League race, especially with Atalanta and Lazio, which both dropped points in their last games. Coach Eusebio Di Francesco will most likely have to do without El Shaarawy and De Rossi, with Nzonzi set to replace him in the holding midfielder role. Cristante and Pellegrini will complete the Giallorossi's midfield trio, while Kluivert, Zaniolo and Dzeko will play upfront.
On the flipside, Mihajlovic has left out of the squad Mattiello and Destro - who ended his goal drought in the last Serie A game - due to muscle injuries. Soriano will be the key-player for the Rossoblu formation, as he could play both as an attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1, or as a central midfielder in a 4-3-3, together with Pulgar and Poli.
Here are the expected line-ups:
ROMA (4-3-3): Olsen; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov. Cristante, Nzonzi, Pellegrini. Zaniolo, Deko, Kluivert.
BOLOGNA: (4-2-3-1): Skorupski; Mbaye, Calabresi, Danilo, Dijks; Poli, Pulgar; Edera, Soriano, Sansone; Santander.
