Master meets apprentice on Sunday evening, as Bologna host Roma at Stadio Dall'Ara with the teams level on points in the Serie A standings.
Jose Mourinho's men travel to Emilia-Romagna for a clash with Thiago Motta's in-form Rossoblu side, having just missed out on automatic entry to the Europa League's last 16.
As a result, last season's beaten finalists only progressed to February's playoff round, in which they will meet one of eight Champions League dropouts - putting a dampener on the joyful celebrations of teenage midfielder Nicolo Pisilli, who netted in injury time after coming off the bench.
Europa League specialist Romelu Lukaku was also on target for the Giallorossi at Stadio Olimpico, where Jose Mourinho's side hosted Serie A rivals Fiorentina last weekend.
On the back of three wins from four league matches, Roma overcame losing both Nicola Zalewski and opening goalscorer Lukaku to red cards during a fiery finale and held out for a 1-1 draw that kept them inside the top four on goal difference.
