Roma have only beaten Cagliari and Cremonese in their last 10 games
Bologna have won six of their last eight matches across all competitions
Recommended bet: Bologna to progress
There was nothing to separate Roma and Bologna during the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie, which means everything is still to play for when they clash at the Stadio Olimpico in the return match on Thursday.
It finished 1-1 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara last week, with Federico Bernardeschi's superb strike for Bologna early in the second half being cancelled out by Lorenzo Pellegrini's equaliser for Roma.
The winner of this tie will face either Lille or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals and will also become the last Italian team standing in this season's Europa League.

Team news
Roma are boosted by the return of Gianluca Mancini, who missed last week's first leg through suspension, while fellow centre back Evan Ndicka is also available after serving a domestic ban.
Further forward, the Giallorossi remain without Paulo Dybala (knee), Artem Dovbyk (thigh) and Evan Ferguson (ankle), while Matias Soule is struggling with a muscular issue and Zeki Celik's participation is also in doubt due to a calf complaint.
Bologna have been dealt a major blow after it was confirmed first-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will miss this match after picking up a hamstring injury in the weekend win over Sassuolo, with Federico Ravaglia set to deputise
Club captain Lewis Ferguson is available after serving a domestic suspension, but Juan Miranda must now serve a European ban for Vincenzo Italiano's team.
The stats
Roma are winless in four and have only triumphed in two of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
The Giallorossi have only won one of their last seven meetings with Bologna, although that sole victory did come when the teams last locked horns at the Stadio Olimpico in August – a 1-0 success.
Donyell Malen is Roma's joint-leading scorer this season with seven goals despite only joining the club on loan from Aston Villa in January.
Bologna are on a club-record 10-match unbeaten run in European competition and have won four on the bounce away from home in the Europa League.
The Rossoblu have won five away matches in a row across all competitions, the most recent of those coming at the home of near neighbours Sassuolo in Serie A on Sunday.

Prediction
Recent meetings between these two sides have been tight – not least last Thursday's first leg – but there could be value in siding with Bologna to book their place in the last eight.
The Rossoblu are in better form, particularly away from home where they have won five on the bounce and only conceded one goal during that period.
Roma, by contrast, are floundering following back-to-back Serie A defeats to Genoa and top-four rivals Como, results that have left their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season hanging in the balance.
Injuries to key forwards has not helped the cause of Gian Piero Gasperini's side and Bologna, who boast Serie A's fourth-best away record and have picked up eight more points on their travels than they have at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara this season, can take advantage.
