On Renato Dall’Ara stadium, Bologna enter this crucial fixture with momentum firmly on their side, having won three consecutive Serie A matches—all by a 2-1 scoreline—while sitting just two points off the top four. Their impressive home form at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara further bolsters their chances of securing another victory, as they have won six successive matches at the venue and suffered just one defeat in their last 11 home games across all competitions (W9, D1).
Bologna vs Lazio – Face Off In An Exciting Italy Serie A Match
Recent Form & Head-to-Head Advantage
Bologna’s recent record against Lazio at home is another source of encouragement. The Rossoblu have won three of the last four league meetings on their own turf without conceding a single goal (D1). In fact, they have beaten Lazio 48 times in Serie A—more than any opponent except Roma (54).
The psychological advantage of their historical dominance, coupled with their superior home form, gives Bologna the upper hand heading into this encounter.
Lazio, meanwhile, are unbeaten in six league matches (W3, D3), but their recent run has been filled with draws, including three in their last four league outings. The Biancocelesti’s struggle to convert matches into wins has hampered their push for a top-four finish.
Moreover, their midweek Europa League fixture against Viktoria Plzeň, which ended in a 1-1 draw, could lead to fatigue, making it more challenging for them to cope with Bologna’s aggressive and energetic style of play.
Key Tactical Edge & Home Form
Bologna’s home record has been among the best in Serie A, as they have notched six straight wins at the Dall’Ara, including victories over AC Milan (2-1), Torino (3-2), and Cagliari (2-1). Their ability to score crucial goals at home while maintaining defensive solidity will be a crucial factor against a Lazio side that has struggled in tight matches.
Furthermore, Bologna’s attacking players are in excellent form. Santiago Castro has been a key figure, having scored crucial goals, while Riccardo Orsolini remains a match-winner with three game-deciding goals this season. Midfielder Nicolo Cambiaghi has also been influential, contributing with goals and assists in recent games.
Lazio’s Road Form & Potential Weaknesses
While Lazio have been one of the better away teams this season, securing 25 points on the road (only trailing the top three in that category), they have often relied on late goals, scoring a league-high 14 times beyond the 80th minute. However, against a well-drilled Bologna side, relying on late strikes might not be enough.
Additionally, Lazio’s key attacking player, Mattia Zaccagni, has seen all 10 of his goals come in winning efforts this season. If Bologna can neutralize him, Lazio’s ability to break through could be significantly hindered.
Bologna vs Lazio – Conclusion
Given Bologna’s stellar home form, superior head-to-head record at the Dall’Ara, and Lazio’s recent trend of drawing matches, the hosts have a clear edge in this encounter. The Rossoblu’s high-energy pressing, strong defensive organization, and ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities at home make them strong favorites to claim all three points. Expect Bologna to edge this one, likely by a narrow margin.
