While a push for the league title appears to be a stretch this term, Lazio looks to be a commanding contender to claim second in the overall standings. This weekend they will be on the road, as they come up against a Bologna side that has lost just once in their last three.
Serie A Preview
It has been an incredible season to this point for Lazio, as they have gone under the radar to sit third in the Serie A standings. A title challenge appears incredibly unlikely, but they could rise to second in the league table this weekend if they are able to pick up maximum points against Bologna on the road. Lazio’s recent form has been reliable, and they will be chasing a fourth straight win on Saturday.
Their biggest win of the season was recorded in their previous fixture, as they caused a huge shock to register a 1-0 win on the road against Napoli. That was just a second defeat of the season for the league leaders, with the only goal of the game being scored with just over 20 minutes remaining by Mathias Vecino.
Bologna currently sits eighth in the Serie A standings, as they have dropped a place in recent weeks after losing two of their previous four matches. However, they could yet make a charge for a top seven finish, with Juventus currently just above Bologna on goal difference.
They weren’t able to record a third straight win in their most recent fixture, as Bologna was beaten on the road by Torino. The only goal in the game was scored after just 22 minutes, but Bologna offered very little in the way of a fightback, as they managed just a single shot on target in 90 minutes.
Bologna vs Lazio Head to Head
Lazio has picked up wins in each of their last two matches against Bologna. However, both wins were recorded in home fixtures. In fact, each of the last six clashes between these two sides has been won by the team playing with home advantage.
Bologna vs Lazio Prediction
The home trend advantage is a very interesting betting angle for this Serie A fixture over the weekend. However, Lazio’s recent form has been extremely eye-catching, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a first away victory in this fixture since 2018 on Saturday.
