Bologna vs Verona Prediction & Betting Tips (23 February)

Still under the orders of Thiago Motta this season, Bologna is asserting itself as a stronghold on the other side of the Alps. Winger Orsolini's partners are currently 5th in Serie A and have, with 1 game more, the same number of points as 4th. They can therefore hope to qualify for the next Champions League. After going 4 games without winning, Bologna resumed its march forward by winning the last 4 days. Thiago Motta's men won in turn against Sassuolo 4-2, Lecce 4-0, Fiorentina 2-0 and Lazio last weekend 1-2.

Like the previous year, Hellas Verona is struggling not to go down this season and is today in 18th place in Serie A with 1 more match and the same number of points as the first non-relegation team. Marco Baroni's men have only pocketed 2 victories against poorly ranked Cagliari and Empoli since the end of August. Unable to win in the last 5 days, 3 draws and 2 defeats, they still showed good resistance. Narrowly beaten in Naples 2-1, Hellas Verona then shared the points in Monza 0-0 and against Juventus last weekend 2-2.

Bologna still cannot count on long-term missing defender Soumaoro, who is injured. On the other hand, starting midfielder Freuler is available again after serving his suspension. The coach can therefore count on most of his strength this Friday. We mainly think of the influential Orsolini (9 goals in SA) and Zirkzee (9 goals and 3 assists in SA). Last weekend, goalkeeper Skorupski largely contributed to the victory against Lazio. The Danish striker Odgaard is content with a substitute role but he has scored 2 goals in his only 2 appearances. On the side of Hellas Verona, the replacement goalkeeper Berardi and the striker are still missing.

very little used Cruz (0 goals in 4 SA matches), insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Last weekend, the striker recruited this winter Noslin opened his goal counter in his new colors. Winger Folorunsho also stood out against Juventus with an assist and a superb goal. During the lercato, executives Ngonge (Naples), Doig (Sassuolo), Hien (Atalanta), Terracciano (AC Milan), Djuric (Monza), Hongla (Granada) and Faraoni (Fiorentina) all left the club. In the opposite direction, we can notably point out the arrivals of full-backs Centonze (Nantes) and Ruben Vinagre (Sporting), attackers Noslin (Fortuna Sittard) and Swiderski (Charlotte) or even midfielders Dani Silva (Guimaraes) and Belahyane (Nice) .
