The team is heading north to Bologna with the hope to stop the bleeding. Indeed, Roma has been on the losing end for the last six encounters. The mission is looking pretty difficult as Bologna is standing proud amongst the top teams of this league: they are joint-second with Santa Croce just one point behind leaders Bassano. The team will probably be again without Lucio Antonio Oro, who only got back to light training this week.

“As usual, we worked hard to prepare the game against Bologna – said coach Ermanno Piacentini – We trained well, focused the whole week and I’m confident. Bologna is playing great volleyball with an enthusiasm that allow them to play at their best”.
