Stadium: Renato Dell'Ara (Bologna).
Referee: Ivano Pezzuto.
The final game of Matchday 3 of Serie A will take place on Monday when Bologna will host Verona. There are several options to bet on this game.
Bologna are an experienced team
It is often unclear what to expect from Bologna. The team has been under Sinisa Mihajlovic for a long time and has skillfully maintained a certain level. At the same time, the Red and Blues clearly understand their limits, and sometimes, having reached their peak, they don’t exert themselves. However, this happens closer to the middle of the season, when the minimum goal, avoiding relegation, is largely solved.
At the start of the league season, Bologna have four points to their name, a hard-fought 3-2 win over Salernitana and a 0-0 draw with Atalanta.
Verona will be looking for balance for a long time
The Yellow and Blues have entered the season with new head coach Eusebio Di Francesco. And right from the start, they began to show symptoms of this specialist’s illness. First, they tried to play attacking but had terrible defensive problems. Then, the psychological breakdown came following a sudden change of course towards defensive blindness and, finally, a collapse. Di Francesco had that at Sampdoria and so did Cagliari. Verona started under him with two defeats (2-3 to Sassuolo and 1-3 to Inter) and six conceded goals. The further scenario is, alas, well known.
History of head-to-head encounters
Verona have not been able to beat Bologna since 2016 - 7 matches in a row.
