Lazio vs Bologna Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Coppa Italia on Thursday, 19 January 2023.
Lazio have not hit top gear since the season resumed, and they surely will be looking forward to this upcoming encounter. A confidence-boosting win this Thursday could do them a world of wonder.
Bologna are still alternating between periods of struggles and form – though it must be said that they are consistently scoring lately.
These two teams locked horns just a few months before as part of their Serie A schedule, and then Lazio recorded a 2-1 win.
They have been the better team in h2h clashes over the course of the last several years. In fact, they won four of the past six meetings, and scored twice or more in seven of the last nine games.
Most importantly, they are on a ten-fixture unbeaten at home in h2h encounters, and seven of these ended in wins for them.
As mentioned, Lazio have a superb h2h record against this rival over the years – and particularly so at this venue. Moreover, Bologna have a 100% winless record on the road in the past 13 months, barring just three wins.
Likely, the hosts Lazio are tipped to secure a win this Thursday.
Lazio scored two or more goals in seven of the past nine h2h meetings, and in the last five straight h2h encounters at this ground. Moreover, the last Bologna kept a clean sheet on the road was back in May. As such, chances are high for goals to come in plenty this Thursday.
Lazio conceded two or more goals in three of their last four overall games, and have a single clean sheet to their name at home in the past three months. Moreover, Bologna seem to have marginally improved their form compared to the first half of the season.
Probability is high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Lazio have an extremely dominant h2h record against this opponent over the years, and particularly so at this stadium. They are also one of the contenders for a European spot, while Bologna are stuck in the bottom tier of the table.
As such, a Lazio to Win bet at an odd of 1.83 is a great pick to make this Thursday.
And considering their goal-scoring exploits (particularly in h2h clashes), along with the defensive shortcomings of Bologna, it is expected that the hosts will find the back of the net at least twice. And the odds for that are placed at an attractive 1.83 odd.
