Lazio vs Bologna Preview
Lazio
Riding high on a four-match winning streak in Serie A, Lazio have climbed to fifth place in the standings, tied with Inter, Fiorentina, and Atalanta with 25 points.
Marco Baroni’s team has been demonstrating impressive football lately, and they are one of the main contenders for the title.
Lazio’s last match against Monza was a tightly contested affair, but thanks to Mattia Zaccagni’s strike, they secured a much-needed victory. The race for the Scudetto continues, and each slip could potentially cost I Biancazzurri a place in the top 4.

Next, they host Bologna, a side that has been a thorn in Lazio’s side recently. They failed to win the last three H2H matches and will be determined to overturn this unsuccessful streak on Sunday.
On a positive note, Baroni has no significant injury concerns, giving him the luxury of a full squad to choose from for this important clash.
Bologna
Despite a major squad overhaul, Bologna are still performing well in Serie A, sitting eighth in the standings with 18 points. The guests are on a three-game winning streak and their last fixture ended in a thrilling 3-2 triumph over Roma.
After Thiago Motta and Joshua Zirkzee left before the season began, Bologna’s standout this campaign has been Riccardo Orsolini. The Italian forward shone last year and now leads the team with five goals. He is ably supported by Argentine youngster Santiago Castro, who has chipped in with four goals.
Although Bologna lack the same tenacity in defence, their cohesion in midfield has been a key strength. In the offence, Bologna don’t create an abundance of chances, but they make up for it with clinical finishing.

- Pick: Lazio to Win
- Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Lazio 2-1 Bologna
Lazio have been in a phenomenal form recently, especially at home. Marco Baroni’s team are on a six-game winning run across all tournaments and the last time they lost at Stadio Olimpico was on March 11 against Udinese.
Even though Lazio have had a three-match winless streak against Bologna, the situation is different now. Bologna have lost plenty of their key players, while Le Aquile are showing a convincing gameplay and beat nearly every opponent on their home turf.
Given Lazio’s momentum and their opportunity to strengthen their position in the table, we think they will have an initiative at home. Our pick for this match is Lazio to win.
Lazio vs Bologna Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 2.11 (22Bet)
One of the key characteristics of Lazio this season has been their prolific scoring in home matches. Each of the last eight matches across all competitions ended with three goals or more.
Taty Castellanos, Boulaye Dia, and Mattia Zaccagni are the Eagles’ main attacking force. With 13 goals, they create a formidable trio that combines well and poses a huge threat to opponents.
Bologna, on the other hand, may not be the best scoring team under Vincenzo Italiano, but they have the ability to effectively convert their chances.
Therefore, we think that this won’t be a closed match and both teams will try to focus on the offence and our second pick for this game is over 2.5 goals.
