The Serie A showdown between Verona and Bologna is anticipated to be filled with goals due to both sides' defensive frailties. Verona, who have lost four of their last five home matches, are predicted to allow goals once again. Conversely, Bologna comes into the match with a slight edge in head-to-head encounters, having won three of their last four meetings against Verona. Both teams have seen multiple matches end with both teams scoring. With Verona languishing at the bottom of the table, Bologna might capitalize on the opportunity to secure an away victory.

Verona vs Bologna Predictions

Both sides have struggled to keep clean sheets in recent weeks, and I expect more of the same on Thursday. BTTS is my first pick, with a second stake placed on an away win. 

Goals Likely in Verona


  • Verona lost 4 of their last 5 home matches (Serie A)
  • Verona have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 12 matches
  • Verona have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches against Bologna
  • Bologna won 3 of their last 4 matches against Verona
  • Bologna have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 12 matches

Bologna Edge Verona H2H

Verona and Bologna have met on 11 previous occasions in Serie A since 2020. Bologna won four games, including a 2-1 win at this venue last season, while Verona claimed three victories. 

Verona Struggles Continue

Verona's winless run extended to four matches after they slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Lazio last weekend. Victor Nelson's late own-goal proved the difference maker in a tight contest at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

Paulo Zanetti's side have endured a miserable Serie A campaign, picking up just two wins in the first half of the season. The Gialloblu remain at the bottom of the division, with only 13 points on the board.

Usually a reliable choice for goal chasers, Verona have seen at least three goals scored in ten of their last 12 Serie A matches. Eight of those games also finished with both teams on the scoresheet.

Bologna Pick Up Point at Como

Bologna arrive at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi after a frustrating 1-1 draw at Como last Sunday. Martin Baturina's 94th-minute strike denied Vincenzo Italiano's side an impressive road victory. 

The Rossoblu have been far from their best in recent runouts. Bologna failed to win their last seven competitive fixtures (D3, L4) and now sit ninth in Serie A, seven points behind sixth-placed Como. 

Italiano's men have struggled to keep clean sheets this season. The visitors conceded at least one goal in each of their last 12 fixtures. Nine of those matches saw BTTS. 

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Verona (3-5-2) Lorenzo Montipo; Victor Nelsson, Daniel Oyegoke, Nicolas Valentini; Domagoj Bradaric, Cheikh Niasse, Roberto Gagliardini, Antoine Bernede, Martin Frese; Giovane Nascimento, Gift Orban.

Head coach Zanetti has three injury concerns for Thursday's Serie A contest. Tomas Suslov is a confirmed absentee, while Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro and Armel Bella-Kotchap are both listed as doubtful to feature. 

Bologna (4-2-3-1) Federico Ravaglia; Nadir Zortea, Tobias Lysaker Heggem, Nicolo Casale, Juan Miranda; Remo Freuler, Tommaso Pobega; Jonathan Rowe, Giovanni Fabbian, Benjamin Dominguez; Santiago Castro.

Bologna boss Italiano will be forced into at least one alteration to his first XI on Thursday. Nicolo Cambiaghi is suspended after picking up a second-half red card in last weekend's draw against Como. 

Injured quartet Federico Bernardeschi, Jhon Lucumí, Lukasz Skorupski and Emil Holm are also expected to remain unavailable. 

Verdict

Goals seem likely, with both teams short in clean sheets this season. BTTS is my first pick, while I also fancy Bologna to claim a much-needed road victory.
