A Thrilling Top-Half Tussle in Serie A
Key Stats
– Verona are unbeaten in their last two home games.
– Verona’s Cyril Ngonge has scored twice in just three games this season.
It’s been an enthralling start to the Serie A season for Hellas Verona, who find themselves on the rise after an edgy ending to the previous campaign. The Mastiffs have experienced both highs and lows, from celebrating wins over Empoli and the much-famed Roma managed by Mourinho, to a disappointing setback against Sassuolo. Despite the latter, Marco Baroni and his side are confidently striving for consistency, especially on their home ground. The Bentegodi has become a fortress for Verona, with a two-game unbeaten stretch since the tail end of the previous season. Their transition from the threat of relegation to currently occupying seventh is nothing short of remarkable.
The Surge of Bologna
Bologna, under the watchful eyes of Thiago Motta, have showcased commendable resilience this season. Embarking on a challenging start, facing heavyweights like AC Milan and Juventus, they’ve demonstrated their mettle, securing a praiseworthy point against the Old Lady at the Allianz Stadium.

Their recent victory against a spirited Cagliari and an ongoing four-game unbeaten away streak are testaments to their improved form and determination.
Key Players to Watch
With both teams presenting a plethora of talents, players like Lorenzo Montipò and Ondrej Duda from Verona have been particularly impressive, boasting BettingTips4You Expert Ratings of 7.60 and 7.57 respectively. On the other hand, Bologna’s Victor Kristiansen and Jhon Lucumí have been at the forefront of their team’s defence, with ratings hovering around the 7.60 mark. But, amidst these stalwarts, both teams face the adversity of injuries. Players like Jayden Braaf and Alexis Saelemaekers will be sorely missed, affecting the dynamics of the game.
Predictions: Analysing the Numbers
- Match Outcome: Bologna’s impressive record away from home and Verona’s ambition to extend their home unbeaten run could see this match lean towards a draw. However, a crucial stat stands out – Verona have failed to maintain a clean sheet in their last 12 encounters against Bologna. Given this, a Draw seems to be a logical prediction, backed up by Bologna’s recent form and Verona’s determination to remain unbeaten at home.
- Correct Score Prediction: The attacking nature of both teams, coupled with their occasional defensive lapses, suggests a high-scoring affair. A 2-2 draw is a possibility, considering Verona’s home record and Bologna’s penchant for finding the net on their travels.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Cyril Ngonge and Joshua Zirkzee have been pivotal for Verona and Bologna respectively, with Ngonge netting twice already. Our data-backed prediction suggests Cyril Ngonge is likely to score in this clash.
