Venezia vs Bologna prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-28 14:00.
[p]A first streak of four successive Serie A draws since April 1962 was not enough to lift Venezia out of the relegation zone before the international break. Three of those stalemates were against sides currently residing in the top six, but impressive performances alone have proven insufficient in the Lagunari’s survival bid, as they begin the weekend five points adrift of safety and without a win since Christmas (D7, L5).[/p]
[p]Head coach Eusebio Di Francesco stressed the need for improvements in attack, as only Lecce (21) have scored fewer goals than Venezia (23) in Serie A this season. Three successive scoring blanks on home turf – all against sides in top-four contention – therefore does not bode well ahead of this clash with Bologna.[/p]
[p]Only Roma (five) boast a longer active winning streak than Bologna (four) in Serie A, with Vincenzo Italiano’s men most recently thrashing Lazio 5-0. That lifted the Rossoblù into the top four and kept them on course for a second successive UEFA Champions League qualification, but as their next three league fixtures after this are against the current top three, Bologna know they have no room for error.[/p]
[p]Only two points separate the Red and Blues from sixth-placed Lazio and an adverse result here could push them out of the European qualification spots altogether. Some patchy recent away form in Serie A (W2, D4, L2) is a cause for concern, but a 2-1 win over Verona on their last trip has given Bologna the chance to post consecutive away league victories for just the second time this season.[/p]
[p]Key battle: Ionuț Radu turned in Flashscore Man of the Match performances in Venezia’s last two matches, making a combined 13 saves to help his side earn points. He faces stern opposition in Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini who has scored each of his last seven league goals after half-time, including a penalty in this season’s reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bologna have won the most points from losing positions in Serie A this season (16).[/p]
