Match Preview
Bologna fans will be looking to Riccardo Orsolini to lead the line. He has scored 7 goals this season and currently averages 0.43 goals per 90 minutes. His presence on the wing is always a major problem for struggling defenses like Verona's this year.
The Rossoblu will also rely on Santiago Castro, who has also bagged 7 goals. With a 0.4 goals per 90 minute ratio, he is an essential part of Vincenzo Italiano's 4-3-3 system. Still, the team must overcome the absence of the suspended Remo Freuler.
Defensively, Jhon Lucumi remains a rock at the back for the hosts. However, he has picked up 4 cards already, showing a tendency to get stuck in. Even so, Bologna's home defense is statistically much stronger than what Verona has faced lately in the league.
Hellas Verona is in a desperate situation at the bottom of the pile. Paolo Sammarco's side has only picked up one point from their last five matches. That said, Gift Orban remains their main hope, having scored 7 goals with 0.4 per 90 minutes.
The visitors are dealing with a massive injury list including Suat Serdar and Antoine Bernede. This makes their task even harder, especially considering their poor away scoring average. They are currently averaging only 0.57 goals per game whenever they play away from home.
Discipline has been a major issue for the Gialloblu this season. Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro has already seen 6 cards and averages a high 0.83 cards per 90 minutes. It is likely that this lack of control will be a factor in *Today's Serie A Predictions* results.
Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano has selected 23 players for Sunday's Serie A fixture against Verona at the Dall'Ara. The squad sees the return of Thijs Dallinga and Lykogiannis, offering vital options in attack and defense. However, the Rossoblù must navigate the match without the suspended Remo Freuler, as well as the injured duo Miranda and Heggem. This Matchday 28 clash remains pivotal for Bologna’s seasonal ambitions.

Prediction
Bologna to Win @1.60
Bologna is clearly the superior team in this matchup when looking at the recent form of both sides. The Rossoblu have remained unbeaten in their last 3 league matches and sit comfortably in 8th place. They currently average a high 15.38 shots per match at home. This offensive pressure should be more than enough to break down the worst defense in the Italian league.
Verona has struggled immensely on the road this season with an average of only 0.57 points per away match. They have lost 16 games overall and are currently sitting at the bottom of the table. Their defensive record away from home is also worrying as they concede 1.93 goals per game. Expect the hosts to take advantage of these significant defensive gaps today.
