Bologna vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-08-29 16:30.
[p]Reigning Coppa Italia champions Bologna are looking for their first Serie A win of the season in their home opener when they host Como.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Bologna’s season opener couldn’t have gone much worse, as not only did they go down 1-0 to Roma, they also suffered two potentially costly injuries when Ciro Immobile and Nicolò Casale had to be withdrawn. That result stretched Bologna’s sorry run across their last nine Serie A outings to one win in nine (D3, L5), but having won nine of their last 12 competitive home matches (D2, L1), returning to the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium could prove timely. They’ve been forced to do things the hard way there in Serie A of late though, as Bologna have conceded the opener in three of their last four home league games. [/p]
[p]It was a fabulous start for Cesc Fà bregas’ Como on opening day as they beat Lazio 2-0 to register their first Serie A win on matchday one since 1951. Given their lofty European ambitions, beating European regulars Lazio was a perfect yardstick for Como, who have now won eight of their last ten competitive matches since the start of April (D1, L1). Their improvement on the road has perhaps been most notable, as ten of their 20-point haul away from home in Serie A last season came across their last four such games (W3, D1). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Bologna are unbeaten in three of the four H2Hs held this century (W2, D1, L1), with three of those matches witnessing a 1-0 half-time score, but it’s Como who boast the better all-time record between these two sides (W12, D7, L6).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Bologna have scored more than once in just one of their last ten Serie A matches.[/p]
[p]Bologna scored 25 of their 33 home league goals last term after the break.[/p]
[p]Como led at half-time in six of their last seven away Serie A matches.[/p]
[p]Como conceded first in 12 of their 19 away league matches last term.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Bologna will look to Nicolò Cambiaghi for a quick start given he opened the scoring with six of his last nine competitive club goals. Como starlet Nico Paz contributed to both goals in their win against Lazio (G1, A1), but an assist may be more likely than a goal here considering only one of his seven strikes for Como arrived on the road.[/p]
[p]Bologna duo Ciro Immobile and Nicolò Casale both went off injured last weekend, whilst Como appear to be close to full strength.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given their tendency to start fast and rampant current form, backing Como in the half-time/full-time market seems incredibly generously priced.[/p]
