Bologna faces a selection shake-up for their upcoming clash against Verona. With Cambiaghi suspended, Benjamín Domínguez is set for a crucial starting opportunity to prove his worth amid transfer speculation. The Rossoblù welcome back Lukasz Skorupski in goal and Emil Holm following his recovery from the flu. However, defensive adjustments are likely, as Heggem and Vitik are expected to deputize for the injured Jhon Lucumí.

Bologna is the clear choice for the X2 market due to their historical dominance and Verona's disastrous home form. The Gialloblu have managed only one win at the Bentegodi all season, which is a staggering statistic for a top flight club. Meanwhile, Bologna has scored in eight consecutive away league games, averaging 1.5 goals per match on their travels. Even though the Rossoblu are on a winless run, they face a Verona side that has lost three of their last four matches and failed to score in three of those. With Ciro Immobile’s excellent record at this stadium and the visitors winning 34 of the 76 total meetings, it is highly unlikely they leave empty handed. Verona’s defensive average of conceding 1.44 goals at home further supports the idea that Bologna will find the net and secure at least a point on Thursday.
The Over 1.5 goals market is strongly supported by the statistical averages of both teams. In home matches, Verona games see an average of 2.33 goals, while Bologna’s away matches are even more active, averaging 2.7 goals per game. Specifically, 80% of Bologna’s away matches this season have produced at least two goals. Verona’s defense has been particularly leaky, conceding at least once in their last eight Serie A matches. On average, the combined goal expectancy for this fixture is 2.52 goals per match. With Verona desperate for points at the bottom of the table, they cannot afford to sit back, which often leads to open games. Bologna’s record of scoring in eight straight away matches further guarantees that the net will likely ripple. This makes the Over 1.5 goals line a very high probability outcome based on recent form and seasonal averages.
