Serie A 2025-2026: Roma-Bologna, the likely lineups

Roma–Bologna is a match valid for the first day of Serie A: the Giallorossi and the Rossoblù take on each other at 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico in the game that marks Gian Piero Gasperini’s debut on the Capitolini bench.

Roma without the unavailable Pellegrini and the disqualified Celik will line up with a 3-4-2-1 with Evan Ferguson as central point, supported by Soulè and El Aynaoui. Both Dybala and Dovbyk are expected to start initially from the bench. On the flanks are Rensch and Angelino, in midfield Cristante along with Koné.

Immobile is the point man in attack for Bologna, with Orsolini, Odgaard and Cambiaghi behind him. Lewis Ferguson and Bernardeschi have recovered but will start from the bench.
