Bologna form and stats

Bologna have collected 16 points from their Serie A home games so far after 5-1-5. Game days at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Bologna as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

No payout for Bologna in their previous match, an away game at Hellas Verona that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfield player Soriano got a match rating of 7.3 in that game, the max score being 10. Soriano served one assist and hit two key passes.

Before that game, the home loss against Napoli with the scoreline 0-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bologna have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn six and lost zero.

Bologna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Bologna's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
