Verona vs Bologna

Verona are aiming to jumpstart their survival quest when they host Bologna in an Italian Serie A fixture on Thursday.

The visitors have also endured a slump lately, but seem to fare better on their travels. They will be keen to show their quality against the hosts, who have been out of sorts for much of the season.

Verona News

It has been a difficult campaign for Verona, who have won just two of their 19 Serie A matches so far. Paolo Zanetti's team are currently in the relegation zone, four points from safety, and need a swift turnaround in fortunes.

Verona have lost three of their last four matches and were beaten 2-0 at home by Lazio last time out in Serie A. That defeat also means they have also lost four of their last five matches in front of their fans.

Poor defending has been one of the issues for Verona, having failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches. However, they have scored in four of their last six home matches in the league.

Bologna News

Bologna come into this clash in the middle of a slump as they are winless in their last five matches. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Como last time out, with Nicolo Cambiaghi getting their goal before being sent off.

An interesting thing about Bologna is that they seem to fare better on the road at the moment and are unbeaten in six of their last seven Serie A away matches. Vincenzo Italiano’s team have also won at least one half in four of those fixtures.

Goals are not a problem for Bologna, who have scored at least one second-half goal in three of their last four matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in all four fixtures.

Head to Head

Bologna have six wins and three draws, while Verona have picked up just three victories in the last 12 matches. The visitors claimed a 2-1 away victory in the last meeting back in March.

Verdict

Verona v Bologna

Verona are struggling at the moment, and their situation appears even worse on home soil. Bologna have done some good work on their travels and, having won at least one half in four of their last seven away matches, a similar pattern is expected.

Bologna have also scored at least one second-half goal in three of their last four away matches, and that trend is likely to continue. Both teams have scored in their last two meetings, and a repeat could be on the cards here.
