Lazio will be looking to continue their bright form in Serie A this Friday, as they travel to Bologna. Both sides have been in excellent form over recent weeks, and a victory for either this week will send them closer toward the Champions League spots in the league standings.
Lazio made a disappointing start to the Serie A season after finishing as the runners-up in the previous campaign. However, they have been able to get back on track in recent weeks by winning each of their previous three matches to rise up to seventh in the league standings.
That impressive run of form means that they are now just three points off the Champions League spots in Serie A, and they could increase the pressure on the top four with a victory this weekend. Lazio’s impressive recent form continued in dramatic fashion on Monday evening, as they scored late to secure a 1-0 home success against Fiorentina. The only goal of the game was netted in the fifth minute of injury time from the penalty spot by Ciro Immobile.
Bologna likely won’t be nervous ahead of this showdown, as they have also been very consistent in Serie A over the opening months. They come into this fixture after losing just once across their ten matches this season. However, wins have been slightly challenging to come by, as they have recorded just three victories.
But, they are unbeaten across their previous five in Serie A. Most recently, they played out a 1-1 draw on the road against Sassuolo. Bologna opened the scoring in that clash after just three minutes, but their advantage was wiped out with just a minute remaining of the first half.
Home wins have been a common result in this fixture, with six of the previous seven being won by the side with home advantage. That includes two victories for Bologna in three home matches against Lazio. However, this exact fixture last term ended in a 0-0 draw in March.
Away victories are a rarity when these sides clash in Serie A, with just one of the last eleven being won by the travelling team. Therefore, it could be worth siding with Bologna continuing their fine record this term by picking up a home draw against Lazio on Friday.
