Overview.
Lazio haven’t lost to Bologna in Serie A since March 2012, winning six and drawing six of 12 such meetings since. Bologna have failed to score in five of their last seven home Serie A games against Lazio (scoring three goals in this period): the Emiliani had scored 11 goals in their previous five such league meetings (an average of 2.2 per game). After going 10 away Serie A games unbeaten in Emilia Romagna (W8 D2), Lazio have lost their last two such mathces in this region, both against SPAL. After Bologna equalled their best ever start to a Serie A campaign in the three points for a win era (seven points in their first three games), they have since picked up only one point in their next three Serie A matches. Bologna lost their last home league game, doing so against the other side from the capital (AS Roma). They had won eight consecutive home league games beforehand.

Teams Comparison.
After a joint-best start to their Serie A (SA) season after three games (W2, D1, L0), Bologna have since picked up just one point over the next three (W0, D1, L2). The hosts have also failed to score in their last two SA games. Slow starts have been Bologna’s constant feature this season, with the hosts never once leading at half-time in their six SA games. However, four of those remained even after half-time although Bologna have conceded five of their seven SA goals in the first half. In contrast, five of their seven SA goals have come after the break, with three coming in the 46th-60th minute period. That could be challenged against Lazio, who have been the strongest in the 15-minute periods either side of the break – scoring five and conceding none.
An underwhelming September with three losses in five competitive games has given way to consecutive wins for Lazio. That includes a 4-0 emphatic SA win last weekend, with the visitors seeking back-to-back league wins for the first time since April. Encouragingly, they have three straight SA H2H wins at this venue – two with clean sheets. Lazio have been leading at the break in four of their six SA games this season, going on to win three. Although their record over the two halves has been balanced (scored-conceded: 5-6 and 2-2), Lazio still top the second half SA table this season.
