Round 33 of Serie A
– 11:30 p.m. April 22: Roma vs Bologna
The result of this match can greatly affect the Top 4. Currently the two teams are standing close to each other with Bologna in 4th place and right behind is Roma.
De Rossi’s team is aiming to participate in the Champions League next season. Due to Italy’s position in the UEFA rankings, simply reaching the Top 5 is enough to achieve that goal. Currently, Roma is 4 points behind the 4th ranked team, Bologna, but has played 1 match less. They are also 3 points ahead of Lazio, the 6th ranked team, but have played 2 fewer matches.
Roma is behind Bologna but has played 2 fewer matches
As for Bologna, if they win tonight’s match, they will have won for the first time against Roma in both matches in Serie A since 1967. In the first leg this season they won 2-0.
Bologna is facing many difficulties. They have not won in the last 2 matches and are at risk of falling in the rankings. Having to play away from home against an excited Roma will not be an easy challenge for Bologna.
Another difficulty for the away team is the absence of captain Lewis Ferguson due to a heel injury. In addition, Adama Soumaoro has a knee injury and Jens Odgaard has a thigh injury and still has to sit out.
Roma’s chances of ending the season in the Top 5 leading teams in Serie A this season are quite bright.
Roma will certainly be without Ndicka, who suffered a heart attack, forcing the match against Udinese to be cancelled. In addition, Lukaku was injured in the win over Milan in the Europa League so he is not sure to play.
The chances for Roma to finish the season in the Top 5 leading teams in Serie A this season are quite bright. Predict the home team will go from draw to win.
Probable teams:
Roma: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Llorente, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Abraham, El Shaarawy
Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Lucumi, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Orsolini, Aebischer, Fabbian, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee
– 01:45 April 23: AC Milan vs Inter (On Football)
Just need to win against AC Milan in this match and Inter will officially be crowned Serie A champion this season. When there are only 6 rounds left in the tournament, the score gap between the two teams is 14 points, with Inter Milan firmly at the top.
Under any circumstances, the Milan derby is always tense and full of hostility
Victory for Inzaghi’s teachers and students will widen the gap to 17 points that cannot be bridged with the remaining 5 matches, thereby officially confirming the 20th Scudetto, surpassing AC Milan’s achievement of 19 Scudettos.
For Inter, there is nothing better than winning the championship right in the derby, on the “home field” of arch-enemy AC Milan, surpassing the enemy’s own championship record.
In the first leg of this season, Inter defeated the ‘enemy’ 5-1
As for AC Milan, they can lose to someone, but losing to Inter on such a meaningful day is truly a terrible humiliation. Therefore, the highest goal that the Rossoneri aims for in this match is to prevent Inter Milan from being crowned on their own home field.
Inter’s performance recently is also very good. They entered this match with a 26-match unbeaten streak in Serie A. In the last 14 matches, Inter has recorded 12 victories. Another big advantage for Inter is that they have the strongest force. Benjamin Pavard and Lautaro Martinez both returned after suspension.
The return of striker Lautaro Martinez will give Inter’s attack more strength
On the contrary, Milan this match did not have midfielder Malik Thiaw due to suspension. Simon Kjaer and Kalulu are both injured. They also had a physical disadvantage because they had to play the Europa League in the middle of last week and were eliminated from the quarterfinals by Roma.
In terms of head-to-head performance, Inter is far superior to Milan in recent years. In the last 15 confrontations in Serie A, Milan only had 3 wins against Inter. In the first leg, Inter destroyed Milan with a score of 5-1.
If they win, Inter will surpass Milan’s record of 19 Scudettos
