Hellas Verona vs. Bologna Betting Preview
Hellas Verona
It promises to be a massive final month of the season for Hellas Verona, as they are still battling for their top-flight status. The Italian club currently sits 18th in the standings, and they are just three points from safety.
Their home form would be a pressing concern coming into this showdown, as the Serie A stats show that they have won just once in their previous seven matches against Bologna in front of their home fans.
The stats also make grim reading for Verona based on their record on Friday night fixture in Italy. They have landed victory in just one of their three Serie A matches played on the final weekday, with that success ironically coming against Bologna in January 2022.
But, the relegation-threatened side should come into this fixture in good confidence after they held runaway leaders Napoli to a 0-0 draw last weekend.
Bologna
It has been an excellent season for Bologna in the Italian top flight, and they could yet challenge for a top-six finish. They are massive outsiders in the odds to win Serie A, but a top-half finish would have been their goal at the beginning of the campaign.
Bologna comes into this fixture in their best form of the season, as they have landed four wins from their previous six on the road.
That is an excellent return after winning just six of their last 21 before the start of this recent run. The Italian side also kept a clean sheet in their most recent away success against Atalanta, and they will be bidding to record back-to-back wins with shutouts for the first time since September 2017 on Friday.
Furthermore, Bologna has an excellent record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in eight of their previous nine against Verona.
Hellas Verona vs. Bologna Betting Picks
The Verona vs Bologna odds seem to suggest that this will be a close matchup between the sides this weekend. However, we find it incredibly challenging to overlook Bologna’s excellent record against Verona.
They have won four of the previous nine, and have scored in each of the games over that period. An early goal could upset Verona’s plan on Friday, and we could see that being their undoing.
- Pick 1: Bologna (+170)
- Pick 2: Bologna to score in first half (+137)
