Verona vs Bologna prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-08 11:30.
[p]Hellas Verona remain in a battle to secure their place in Serie A for next season, but confidence should be relatively high. Despite a 2-0 defeat at Juventus last round, the home side started the round four points clear of the bottom three and with three more points on the board than they had at this stage of last season. Verona fought hard in that contest, holding Juventus at 0-0 before two late goals condemned them to a third defeat from their past six league matches (W2, D1). [/p]
[p]Their most recent win came in their last outing at this venue (1-0 v Fiorentina) and now Verona have the chance to win consecutive Serie A games in front of their own fans for the first time this term. History is on their side when it comes to facing Bologna, with no defeat in their last five Serie A H2Hs games at the Bentegodi (W2, D3).[/p]
[p]Bologna almost certainly won’t let their H2H record at this venue concern them given their own fine form since the turn of the year. The visitors have lost just one Serie A game in 2025 (W5, D4) while scoring an impressive 17 league goals, second only to Roma (18) in that regard this calendar year at the start of this round.[/p]
[p]Their strong form of late saw them holding onto a place in the top six after the last gameweek, with a three-point gap to fifth-placed Lazio who Bologna meet next week. They’ll want to make sure they get maximum points ahead of that clash, yet just one win from seven away Serie A games (D4, L2) combined with that poor H2H record here does suggest this might be a tougher game for Vincenzo Italiano’s men than the league table suggests. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Although attacker Tomás Suslov is still without a league goal this season, there are signs it’s coming as only Bochum’s Maximilian Wittek has been involved in more shots without scoring or providing an assist in the traditional big-five European leagues this season (53). It’s a different story for Riccardo Orsolini (G9) who could become the third Bologna player since 1994/95 to score at least ten goals in three different Serie A seasons. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: After conceding first but winning 2-1 in their past two games, Bologna have won the most points from losing positions in Serie A this season (16). [/p]
