Bologna vs Venezia Prediction & Betting Tips (30 November)

Last year, Bologna created a sensation by qualifying for the Champions League. It will obviously be very difficult to repeat such a performance this season but its current 8th place in Serie A constitutes a very honorable position. Victorious only once during the first 8 days, for 6 draws and 1 defeat, the Rossoblu then raised the cursor to line up 3 victories against Cagliari 0-2, Lecce 1-0 and Roma 2-3. They put an end to this good series by losing heavily at Lazio last weekend 3-0. Back in the elite this season, Venice is not at its best and occupies today the last place in Serie A with 8 points taken in 13 matches.

The red lantern is not yet won 3 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation but we will quickly have to find the solutions to move forward. After taking over Udinese at the end of October 3-2, Joel Pohjanpalo's partners scored 3 losses by the smallest of margins. They lost in turn against Inter 1-0 , Parma 1-2 and Lecce last Monday 0-1.

For this meeting, Bologna deplores the withdrawals of the starting goalkeeper Skorupski, the Swiss internationals Aebischer and Ndoye, the winger Cambiaghi and the replacement El Azzouzi. In addition, sent off against Lazio, the important midfielder Pobega is suspended. Winger Orsolini is the club's top scorer in the league with 5 goals. Castro (4 goals and 2 assists in SA) is logically preferred to former Toulouse Dallinga (0 goals in 9 SA games) to start on the attacking front. Venice has recovered Icelandic midfielder Bjarkason who has recovered from a hernia and was able to play again on the last day (coming into play at the very end of the match).

On the other hand, replacement goalkeeper Joronen is uncertain. The Finnish international Pohjanpalo (4 goals in SA) constitutes the main offensive player of this formation. He could still be associated with Oristanio (1 goal and 2 assists in SA) while midfielder Nicolussi (2 goals in SA) should start a new tenure.
