Preview: Roma vs. Bologna

Two sides at the opposite ends of the Serie A table clash in the Italian capital as Roma take on Bologna.

The hosts are the only side in the league still with a 100% record, which was extended with a strong 2-0 win away to Sampdoria on Wednesday night.

Bologna, on the other hand, are yet to win this season although they will have been encouraged by the 3-3 draw against AC Milan, despite throwing away a two-goal lead late on.

Adem Ljajic could return to the Roma side having missed the last game but Michael Bradley remains out and Maicon is a doubt.

For the visitors Cesare Natali should return from suspension while Rolando Bianchi is a strong doubt through injury.
