With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Serie A game of the season. Bologna look forward to welcoming SPAL in front of their home support.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Bologna form and stats

The home team returns to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara after sharing the points with Hellas Verona on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. Before that match, a Coppa Italia win away at Pisa.

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.

Last season, Bologna's league statistics were 11 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses, resulting in a 10th position in the Serie A. Over these 38 matches they scored 48 goals and conceded 56. Playing at home last season Bologna managed 9-4-6 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 22 conceded.

SPAL form and stats

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Atalanta with 2-3 on the scoreboard. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs FeralpiSalo.

We have checked recent matches where SPAL have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were W0-D5-L5.

Let's have a look at how SPAL performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 9 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 56 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 2 and lost 11 with 24/30 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Bologna won 1, SPAL won 2 and 1 draw. 1 game with over 2,5 goals, 3 matches with two goals or less.
