Italian Serie A
2008-11-08 - Bologna F.C vs A.S Roma
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Bologna starts this match under new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic against a Roma side coming off four straight Serie A defeats and it is their worse Serie A start.
For the home side Bologna, the 5-1 defeat to relegation rivals Cagliari proved the final straw as the new coach Mihajlovic was brought in. This will however be Mihajlovic’s first real coaching job, as he was assistant manager to Roberto Mancini on the Scudetto-winning Inter staff last season.
The fans have not been happy as even though they managed to beat Inter Milan and Lazio, they have lost every other match. They have scored 8 goals in ten games which makes them the third worst scoring record in the top flight and the joint weakest defence having conceded 19 so far.
As for A.S Roma this is their worst ever start since 1973 which includes a 100 per cent defeats on their travels and disappointing Champions League form makes this a must win match now.
But in midweek, they stunned Chelsea 3-01 in the Champions League and that may be the tonic for them to get things started now. Spaletti added that after going a goal down to Juventus they simply gave up and is very low on confidence at the moment.
A welcome boost for them is the return of Francesco Totti after he missed the 2-0 defeat to Juventus with a knee injury. However the likes of Marco Cassetti, Alberto Aquilani and Vincenzo Montella are all out with injuries.
As fir Bologna, they are without Davide Bombardini who faces a long lay-off after suffering an injury, joining Christian Amoroso, Sergio Volpi, Fabio Mingazzini and Luigi Lavecchia on the treatment table.
