H2H: Lazio vs Bologna - Prediction (Serie A

H2H: Lazio vs Bologna – Comparison.

Ciro Immobile (LAZ) has scored just one league goal in the league this term, but has already six goals against Bologna in his career, including a brace last season. Roberto Soriano (BOL) has scored each of his three SA goals this season before the break, netting the opener twice. In a sequence going back to 2018/19, Lazio have lost only two of the last ten SA home matches to see them trailing at HT (W3, D5, L2).

Lazio Insights.

Lazio have lost two of their opening four Serie A (SA) matches for the second time in the previous three seasons (W1, D1), with both losses coming by a three-goal margin. The ’Biancocelesti’ have conceded the majority (six) of their league eight goals before the break, consequently trailing ’to-nil’ at HT in each of their previous three SA outings. The hosts have won just two of their last six home league matches (D1, L3), trailing at HT in four (W1, D1, L2). In relation to that, three of Lazio’s last five home league wins have produced a losing 1-0 HT scoreline, and a second-half clean sheet for Lazio.

Bologna Insights.

Bologna have started the new SA season with three losses in the opening four rounds (W1) for the second time in the past three years. Last time out, Bologna were leading after 60 minutes of play 3-1, but conceded three goals beyond the hour mark. Moreover, they have shipped five of their eight ‘goals against’ this season in that period. The visitors are yet to score in an away game this season (W/D0, L2), losing the second half 1-0 each time. These form part of a five-match run of away losses, with Bologna failing to score in the last four. However, seven of the previous ten H2Hs have featured both teams hit the net.
