Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Bologna in 13th and Hellas Verona in 8th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Bologna form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Bologna have to build on here at Renato Dall'Ara in the Serie A.
The fans are hoping that Bologna will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie A game against Torino (placed 8th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Fiorentina.
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 five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
A decent goal production from Bologna in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Hellas Verona form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Hellas Verona have produced an overall stat of 3-1-4 so far.
The supporters enjoyed Hellas Verona's previous game versus Genoa (placed 18th), a Serie A 2-1 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at SPAL.
Hellas Verona are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
Hellas Verona are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 8 games (in the league). 10 goals have been conceded by Hellas Verona in these games.
