Bologna vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (11 February)

Winner of this Italian Cup last year, Bologna launched the defense of its title by taking the upper hand, at home, over Parma for its entry into the running 2-1. In the championship, the Rossoblu have not met expectations so far. They are currently 10th in Serie A and are 11 lengths behind the last European seat. In a very bad spiral, they have only gleaned one success in the last 12 days, for 3 draws and 8 defeats. Vincenzo Italiano's squad remains on setbacks suffered against Fiorentina 1-2, Genoa 3-2, AC Milan 0-3 and Parma last weekend 0-1. 10th in the Europa League, Bologna will face Brann in the play-off. In the previous round, Lazio took advantage of the support of its supporters to take the scalp of AC Milan 1-0.

In Serie A, the Biancocelesti today occupy 8th place in the standings with 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day and 8 behind 6th place. They are thus slightly removed from the race for Europe. Maurizio Sarri's men have been slowing down for some time. Indeed, they have only won 2 of their last 9 league matches, for 5 draws and 2 defeats. After beating Genoa 3-2, Lazio brought back a point from their trip to Juventus last weekend 2-2. 

Bologna must do without injured replacement defender De Silvestri. Otherwise, everyone is available this week. On the bench against Parma, Italian international winger Orsolini (7 goals in SA) and Argentine striker Castro (6 goals and 2 assists in SA) could find a starting place this Wednesday. The last day was marked by the return from injury of senior defender Lucumi. This winter, Bologna let defenders Holm (Juventus), Posch (Como) and Sosa (Colo Colo) leave as well as midfielder Fabbian (Fiorentina) and striker Ciro Immobile (Paris FC). In the opposite direction, the young defender Helland (Brann), the more experienced Joao Mario (on loan from Juventus) and the midfielder Sohm (Fiorentina) came to strengthen the ranks of the Rossoblu. For Lazio, it should be noted the packages of the long-term absent defender Gigo (ex-OM), the potentially starting full-back Lazzari and the important winger Zaccagni.

They were joined in the infirmary by defender Gila. Both scorers last weekend, wingers Isaksen (3 goals in SA) and Pedro (3 goals in SA) are applying to start again. The other offensive players Maldini (1 assist in 2 SA matches since his arrival), Cancellieri (3 goals in SA), Noslin (2 goals in SA) and Dia (1 goal in SA) are also available. This winter, Lazio let go of replacement goalkeeper Mandas (Bournemouth), midfielder Vecino (Celta Vigo) as well as executives Castellanos (West Ham) and Guendouzi (Fenerbahce). In the opposite direction, goalkeeper Motta (Reggiana), midfielder Taylor (Ajax), young playmaker Przyborek (Pogon), winger Maldini (Atalanta) and striker Ratkov (Salzburg) arrived.
