Lazio vs Bologna Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Lazio vs Bologna
Italy Serie A
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2024
Start at 19pm in the UK
Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome.

Lazio host Bologna on Saturday night, a team that has already shown on several occasions that it is very vulnerable in defence. The home win is currently offered at a very reasonable odds of 1,70.

Simone Inzaghi's men finally put a stop to the criticism and put on a very pleasing display for their home fans in the UEFA Champions League midweek. Sky Blues defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-1 FT, despite the German team dominating most of the match.

Now they are getting back to domestic duties and looking to end their Serie A losing streak.

Lazio v Bologna Head-to-head

There have been many previous head-to-head meetings between these teams, 40 to be precise, which is not surprising considering how rarely they have been relegated to Série B.

Lazio were far more successful, winning 55% of all matches while losing just nine. Their win rate is even higher when it comes to games played in Rome.

In the previous campaign we saw a great battle in Bologna, which resulted in an entertaining 2-2 draw. However, Lazio had an easy 2-0 win at this stadium in February.

Seven of the last ten h2h have seen both teams score at least one goal.

Prediction Lazio vs Bologna

Ciro Immobile, Lazio's most effective player last season, was heavily criticized for his poor performance in Serie A and for the Italy national football team last month. He finally completed the draft and scored against Dortmund after four silent games.

The Sky Blues have accumulated just one point in their last three domestic games, losing to Sampdoria (0-3 FT) and Atalanta (1-4 FT), while holding Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw at this stadium.

Coach Simone Inzaghi is certainly under a lot of pressure, as no one predicted such a dip in form. Bologna, on the other hand, are in the relegation zone after picking up three points from four opening games.

We have no doubt that Laziali will accumulate the three points on Saturday, but there is a good chance of conceding at least one goal. Bolonia have scored eight goals in their last three Serie A games.
