Bologna-Verona is a match valid for the 26th day of Serie A and is played on Friday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV, streaming.
Bologna’s growth also passes through matches like last Sunday’s at the Olimpico, in which Thiago Motta’s men, despite creating fewer chances than Lazio, still managed to come out on top, taking the brunt of beating at home (1-2) a direct competitor, moreover just back from a historic victory like the one over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The Rossoblù, having gone into a disadvantage during the first half, did not disband and before returning to the locker room found the equalizing goal thanks to a frittata by the biancoceleste goalkeeper Provedel. In the second half Bologna then surged ahead and with 12 minutes to go it was a gem from Dutch striker Zirkzee that settled the matter once and for all. For the Felsini that against Lazio was their fourth consecutive victory, propelling them toward goals at the beginning of the season unimaginable such as fourth place and Champions League qualification. Bologna currently shares fourth place with Atalanta – both on 45 points – although the Orobici have a match to make up (with Inter).
The winning streak can continue, since at the “Dall’Ara,” where the Emiliani have lost only one game – the best domestic performance in the A – in the 23rd day’s advance match will be Verona, entangled in the fight not to relegate. The Scaligeri, despite the club’s decision to revolutionize the roster in January due to well-known financial problems, are holding their own. Marco Baroni’s team as of today would be safe – it is fourth to last – and comes from an excellent performance against Juventus (2-2).
Bologna-Verona: the latest lineup news
El Azzouzi in the last round stunned everyone against Lazio, even scoring the momentary 1-1 goal, but the Moroccan will have to make room for the returning Freuler, who has served a day of disqualification. The Swiss will position himself as usual in front of the defense, while Ferguson and Fabbian will act behind Zirkzee, with Orsolini and Saelemaekers on the flanks. At the back, a ballot between Calafiori and Lucumì.
On the other side, Baroni could confirm Dani Silva in the midfield alongside Duda, while in the three-quarter with Folorunsho will be Suslov and Lazovic, the latter favored over Swiderski.
The Prediction
Bologna has already faced Verona twice this season: 0-0 in the league and 2-0 for the Rossoblù in the Coppa Italia. The Scaligeri are “alive” in spite of everything and in the capital of Emilia they will make their case, but they will hardly be able to avoid defeat against a team in great form like Motta’s, which has conceded little at home so far (10 wins, two draws, one defeat and only 7 goals conceded). It would not be a surprise, in short, if Bologna manages to keep its goal unbeaten as in the other two previous matches of the season.
The probable lineups of Bologna-Verona
BOLOGNA (4-1-4-1): Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Orsolini, Ferguson, Fabbian, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee.
VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Tchatchoua, Dawidowicz, Magnani, Cabal; Duda, Dani Silva; Suslov, Folorunsho, Lazovic; Noslin.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
