Bologna coach Roberto Donadoni says Roma are still capable of winning the Scudetto.
The two clubs face-off on Sunday.
“We have generally performed below par against the big clubs this season, but we've got some games left and want to turn that tendency around," said Donadoni.
“In order to bridge the quality gap, we must be hungrier and more determined than them. I hope our defeat to Fiorentina has taught us a lesson.
“We all know how good Roma are and I'm sure they won't be distracted by thoughts of whether Luciano Spalletti is staying or not. I am convinced they'll go out there believing they can still win the Scudetto."
