Lazio vs Bologna prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-06 17:00.
[p]Lazio and Bologna will be looking to respond to Serie A losses suffered in the last round as they prepare to face each other on Sunday. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lazio have now won and lost the same number of league games this season (five) following a 1-0 defeat to AC Milan on Saturday, meaning that they have registered their second-lowest points tally at this stage of a campaign in 12 years. The mood in the camp should have improved during the week after they turned the tables on Milan with a 1-0 Coppa Italia home win, and it is the Biancocelesti’s home form that has kept them in the top half of the Serie A table. Lazio have accrued 13 Serie A points on their own turf so far, which stands as the greatest percentage (72%) of total points accumulated at home by any team in Italy’s top flight this term. [/p]
[p]Bologna went into the weekend two positions above eighth-placed Lazio but still nursing the wounds of a surprise 3-1 defeat to Cremonese on Monday. That was not only their first home defeat of the season in any competition, but it also ended a 12-game unbeaten run across all competitions (W7, D5). After knocking local rivals Parma out of the Coppa Italia on Thursday as they look to defend that trophy, the Rossoblù can now earn a third straight Serie A away victory for the first time since March 2024. That feat appears eminently achievable given that, ahead of this matchday, they had scored more Serie A away goals this season (12) than anyone else in the division. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The home side on the day has lost just one of the last 14 competitive H2Hs (W10, D3), with Lazio having scored more Serie A home goals (133) and won more such home games against Bologna (40) than against any other team. [/p]
