Despite winning just one of their last five Serie A matches, Roma are well in the run for a Champions league spot as they sit in fourth place with Atalanta. Tonight the Giallorossi will face Bologna, a team that is in good form after winning two consecutive games agaisnt SPAL and Brescia.
The record against the Rossoblu, however, is positive for Fonseca's team as they managed to get points in nine out of their last ten matches against Bologna. The Giallorossi will line-up in their classic 4-2-3-1. In defence Kolarov could get some playing time as left-back after starting from the bench in the last few matches. On the right-hand side of the defence Santon and Spinazzola are the contenders for a spot in the starting XI.
The trequartista position - the midfielder behind the striker - is still a doubt as Perotti seems to be the favourite to start over Mkhitaryan, who is back in the matchday squad after recovering from injury.
ROMA (4-2-3-1): Pau Lopez; Santon, Mancini, Smalling, Kolarov; Veretout, Cristante; Under, Kluivert, Perotti; Dzeko All. Fonseca
