Bologna vs Lazio Match Preview

Bologna welcomes Lazio for the 29th matchday of the Italian Serie A.

Bologna could not continue the positive results, the previous matchday they lost 1-0 at home to Torino. They fell behind midway through the first half and from then on they were rather in danger of conceding a second goal than scoring an equalizer.

Thus, a small winning streak of 2 matches has come to an end for Bologna in its attempt to win a European ticket for the new season. After 28 matches they sit in 8th place with 35 points.

It was a really big win for Lazio in the previous matchday, they beat 1-0 the first-placed Napoli on the road. They were in little danger from their opponent thanks to their excellent defensive function, while they were lucky to score in the 67th minute the only goal of the match, and get the valuable three points.

This was the 3rd consecutive victory in the league for Lazio which moved them to 3rd place in the standings with 48 points, 2 less than 2nd-placed Inter Milan who were defeated by Spezia on Friday night. At the same time, Lazio has one point more than Roma and Milan in their big battle for a top-four spot.

However, on Thursday, Lazio was mediocre in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League, round of 16, losing 2-1 to Alkmaar at the Olimpico Stadium, and will now look to revert things in next Thursday's second leg in the Netherlands to continue in the competition.

Bologna may be coming off a defeat the previous matchday, but they have been in good form lately while at home they are very competitive. Lazio, for their part, come from consecutive victories in the league, but they will certainly have fatigue from Thursday's match. I think we will see an interesting matchup between two teams that score easily. My pick is for Both Teams To Score at even odds.
