Bologna vs AS Roma in UEFA Europa League
Bologna FC 1909 is set to face AS Roma in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 on March 12, 2026, at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna, Italy. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:45 PM GMT.
In recent encounters, Bologna has shown resilience against Roma, having lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions, with a record of three wins and two draws. This includes a strong performance in the UEFA Europa League, where Bologna remains unbeaten in their last nine matches, securing six wins and three draws.
Bologna is aiming for a significant milestone, seeking to win four consecutive matches for the first time since their five-match winning streak in the 1998-99 UEFA Cup. Their current form has been impressive, and they will look to capitalize on their home advantage against a formidable Roma side.
AS Roma, on the other hand, has a strong track record in European competitions, having won the first leg in each of their last six major European last 16 ties. However, they will be cautious, as they were eliminated last season after winning the first leg against Athletic Club 2-1, only to lose 3-1 in the second leg.
The referee for the upcoming match will be Sven Jablonski from Germany, adding another layer of anticipation to this highly competitive fixture. Both teams are expected to bring their best players, including Bologna’s Santiago Castro and AS Roma’s Paulo Dybala, making for an exciting encounter.
As the match approaches, observers are keen to see if Bologna can maintain their unbeaten streak against Roma and extend their successful run in the UEFA Europa League. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final lineups and tactical approaches both teams will adopt.
