Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is upbeat going into today's game against Roma.

"May the best team win? I hope not, otherwise we're in trouble!" smiled the tactician who has played for both Roma and Lazio.

"We need to step on to that field aware of Roma's strength, but also confident of our own characteristics that can take us to a positive result. We mustn't be afraid to try something spectacular."

Mihajlovic made his debut against the Giallorossi back in November and snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw when Cicinho accidentally scored an own goal.

"I am convinced that many things have changed since then. I have been able to give the lads more hunger, determination and aggression.

"Now we need to get those right back up to the top level leading into the final weeks of the season. There are nine games to go and each one is important.

"For us achieving safety is worth the same as a Scudetto. They may seem like different objectives, but the hunger is the same."
