Lazio vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips (18 February)

2nd in Serie A last year, Lazio is less to its advantage this season but has not abandoned the idea of ​​qualifying for the Champions League. Indeed, the Biancocelesti are in 7th place in the ranking with 1 match less and 8 units of expenditure on 4th place. Authors of a sluggish start to the championship, they have, however, shown better dispositions in recent weeks. After going 5 games without a loss, 4 wins and 1 draw, Maurizio Sarri's men fell to Atalanta 3-1. They immediately resumed their march forward last weekend with a success acquired against the relegated Cagliari 1-3. This week, Lazio created a huge surprise by taking over Bayern Munich in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League 1-0.

Qualified for the last four of the Italian Cup, Ciro Immobile's teammates will face Juventus at the beginning of April. Since the arrival on the bench of Thiago Motta during last season, Bologna has been trying to find a place among the best teams on the other side of the Alps. The results are very promising since Joshua Zirkzee's partners are currently 5th in Serie A and are 3 points behind the 4th, last qualified for the next Champions League. After dropping points by stringing together 4 unsuccessful matches, 2 draws and 2 defeats, Bologna reacted in the last 3 days with victories obtained against Sassuolo 4-2, Lecce 4-0 and Fiorentina this week 2-0.

Lazio still have to do without injured winger Zaccagni. Added to this are the withdrawals of midfielder Rovella and replacement full-back Hysaj. In addition, senior defender Romagnoli and replacement Vecino are suspended. Recovered from his physical problem, defender Patric was able to play again this week.

Against Bayern Munich, captain Immobile (6 goals in SA) gave Laziale victory from the penalty spot. He should still start up front. During the winter transfer window, only the midfielder passed through Bordeaux Basic, almost unused this season, set sail, loaned to Salernitana.
