The Fight for Survival and European Dreams
Key Stats
– Bologna have been impressive on the road, remaining unbeaten in four of their last five away games.
– The last four Serie A meetings between Verona and Bologna have seen halftime draws, hinting at a closely contested match-up.
Verona will be keen to follow up the positive result they had last week when they take on Bologna in a crucial Serie A match on Friday night. They will know that they need to make as many points as possible at home if they want to remain in the Italian top flight, but it won’t be easy to defeat a Bologna side who have been truly impressive on their recent travels and who are in good form, fighting to reach a European spot.

Verona’s Recent Resurgence
The relegation battle intensifies as there are just eight matches remaining in the season, and currently Verona are in the bottom three, trailing safety by three points. In order to avoid the drop, they would need to maximise their home game performances, yet they have shown some clear signs of life recently and are heading into this Friday’s showdown unbeaten in their last two matches. Marco Zaffaroni’s men won 2-1 over Sassuolo and then held league leaders Napoli to a goalless draw away at the Stadio Armando Maradona.
They will be confident they can get the job done in this match, as they have a strong record with four wins and two draws in their last seven matches. Despite that, they still struggle defensively, having achieved only one clean sheet in their previous five home outings.
Bologna’s European Ambitions
Bologna, on the other hand, are fighting to secure a place in the top half of the season and possibly qualify for Europe. They are currently in eighth place, trailing Atalanta, who occupy sixth place, by five points. Albeit slim, they still have some realistic chances of reaching Europe, but they need to stay consistent.
Bologna have been in good form recently, with just one defeat in their last eight matches, with three wins and three draws in the process. In their last Serie A game, they drew 1-1 against AC Milan, but it has been on their travels that Bologna have been impressive, as they have avoided a defeat in four of their last five away matches. Similarly to Verona, Thiago Motta’s men are struggling defensively, with only one clean sheet in their last eight games.
Verona vs Bologna Main Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score
As we can see from the odds bookmakers anticipate a tightly contested match, and we agree with this view. Both teams know that as we approach the ‘business end’ of the season, they have to maximise the opportunities that they have, so they will be very motivated ahead of this clash.
Verona vs Bologna Value Bet: Verona to win and both teams to score
For our value bet, we are backing Verona to win and both teams to score, which is available at the boosted price of 6/1 with BetVictor (was 11/2). Even if Bologna have been pretty impressive on the road and still have some outside chances of qualifying for Europe, the relegation battle is a different thing.
Verona have a strong home record, and their confidence will be boosted by the away draw in Naples, where they showed some clear improvements and full commitment to the cause. Backing them to follow up with a home win in a match where both sides will find the back of the net looks like a very interesting option at this price.
Verona vs Bologna Correct Score Prediction: Verona 2-1
Expect this to be a nervy and tight affair, in which Verona, with the help of the home fans, should have what it takes to nail a win that could have a significant impact on their survival battle. A 2-1 win for the hosts looks like a great option in this market, and it is worth a small punt.
