Bologna have been on an exceptional unbeaten streak, extending to 10 matches across all competitions. In their recent Coppa Italia encounter, they secured a 2-0 home victory over 10-man Hellas Verona, which has earned them a spot in the last-16 tie against Inter Milan next month. Nikola Moro and Sydney van Hooijdonk played pivotal roles in this victory, with Moro opening the scoring and Hooijdonk netting his first goal for the club. This impressive run of form dates back to August 21, and a win on Friday would see Bologna achieve a 10-game unbeaten run in Serie A for the first time in over four decades.
Bologna have enjoyed a successful run at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, winning each of their last three matches on home turf. Additionally, they remain unbeaten in their last four home meetings with Lazio. While they have drawn six Serie A matches this season, they have a golden opportunity to level up with Scudetto holders Napoli in the fifth position by claiming three points in this fixture.
Lazio, on the other hand, experienced a dramatic turn of events in their recent Serie A match against Fiorentina. After a sluggish start to the season, they have now won four of their last five games in all competitions, including their last three Serie A matches, which have propelled them into the top seven. Their victory over Fiorentina came in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time when captain Ciro Immobile converted a penalty, securing a 1-0 win.
While Lazio boasted the second-best away record in Serie A last season, this term has presented a mixed picture for them on the road. They have won two and lost three of their first five top-flight away matches. However, they will take confidence from their track record against Bologna, having lost only two of their last 20 top-flight games against them, with both defeats occurring at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in February and October 2021.
Skorupski; Posch, Bonifazi, Calafiori, Lykogiannis; Aebischer, Moro; Orsolini, Ferguson, Karlsson; Zirkzee.
Provedel; Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Marusic; Vecino, Rovella, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.
In the last encounter between these two teams, a goalless draw was played out. Considering Bologna’s recent unbeaten streak at home, it’s likely that they will do enough to frustrate Lazio once more, resulting in a share of the spoils.
Prediction: Bologna 1-1 Lazio
