The UEFA Europa League round of 16 continues on Thursday as Roma hosts Bologna at Stadio Olimpico for the second leg of their tie, with the aggregate score level at 1-1.
Federico Bernardeschi put Bologna ahead in the 49th minute of the first leg before Lorenzo Pellegrini came off the bench to slot in an equalizer for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, leaving this all-Italian tie completely open heading to Rome.
Roma returns home on the back of a 2-1 Serie A loss at Como, leaving the Giallorossi winless in four matches across all competitions, though they are unbeaten in five straight home matches.
