The Reds abd Blues were knocked out of the European Cup at the end of the main stage of the Champions League, but Vincenzo Italiano's team has recently been doing well in the domestic arena. They've had three wins in a row before this match. First, they beat AC Milan 2:1 at home, then Cagliari 2:1 away, and Verona 2:1 at home. So, Bologna has strengthened their position in the European Cup zone in the league standings, currently sitting in sixth place, just two points off the Champions League zone. We'd also like to remind you that in the semifinal of the Italian Cup, the Reds and Blues will meet Empoli.
Lazio
The Biancocelesti played their previous match last Thursday, after a 2:1 away win against Viktoria Plzen. Lazio conceded first in the second half, but Alessio Romagnoli made up for it and the score was tied at 1:1 until the end. In the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Lazio will face Norwegian Bodo/Glimt. In the Italian league, Lazio drew 1:1 with Udinese at home last round. At the end of 28 game weeks, the Biancocelesti are in fifth place in the standings and are just one point behind the Champions League zone.
H2H Meetings
Lazio beat Bologna 3:0 in the first round, at home. Last season, Bologna beat Lazio twice, 2:1 away and 1:0 at home. In the last ten head-to-head meetings, Lazio has won five, Bologna four, and one more match ended in a draw.
Bookmakers' Offers
Bologna is the favorite for the upcoming game, according to the 1xbet betting line. You can bet on the Reds and Blues to win at 2.362, and the odds for Lazio are 3.56. If you think it'll be a draw, you can get 3.21. The 1xbet analysts reckon there'll be at least two goals, and the TO (2.5) bet is priced at 2.303. The TU (2.5) bet is even better at 1.721.
Expert Betting Tips
Lazio is the current Italian championship leader, so the odds on the total seem a bit overrated here. We're going with the TO and we also think Bologna won't lose. After all, Lazio will be playing just two days after their Europa League match against Czech Viktoria, which was surprisingly tough.
Our picks:
1X & TO (1.5) for 1.85
TO (2.5) for 2.20
CS 2:1 for 9.00
