Lazio return to Serie A action after a vital Coppa Italia win over AC Milan.
Bologna’s unbeaten streak was snapped by Cremonese earlier this week.
Both sides average over 2.5 goals per match this season.
The match will be played at the Stadio Olimpico, with Lazio chasing their fourth straight home win.

It’s been an intense week for Maurizio Sarri’s men. After losing 1-0 at San Siro, Lazio flipped the script in the Coppa Italia, edging AC Milan by the same scoreline thanks to a late Mattia Zaccagni header. That win means a morale boost ahead of Bologna’s visit. At home, Lazio have been ruthless: three straight league wins, all without conceding. They’ve posted an average of 2 goals scored and only 0.67 conceded per match, proving their defense is as sharp as ever. Can they keep that rhythm going under the floodlights on Sunday?

Even so, Sarri faces a thin squad. Injuries to Samuel Gigot, Nicolo Rovella, and Danilo Cataldi limit his midfield choices, while Ciro Immobile might still not be 100% fit. Still, the Biancocelesti have momentum and history on their side: five wins in their last six home meetings with Bologna. Their disciplined back line and clever pressing have turned the Olimpico into a fortress again. And with an average of over nine corners per game, Lazio keep the pressure constant.

Bologna, meanwhile, travel south with something to prove. Their unbeaten run of 12 matches came crashing down against Cremonese on Monday, losing 3-1 despite a Riccardo Orsolini penalty. That’s a rare off-night for a team averaging 1.71 goals per game and over 2.7 total goals per match. Under Vincenzo Italiano, Bologna have developed a fearless, attacking style, fast transitions, high pressing, and confidence on the ball. Still, losing key players like Lukasz Skorupski and Remo Freuler could sting here. Can Italiano’s men find their rhythm again on hostile ground?

That said, Bologna’s away form is nothing to dismiss. They’re unbeaten in their last five Serie A away trips, scoring at least twice in six of their nine away fixtures. Their average of 9.15 corners per match shows how much they like to push forward. Even with the odds slightly favoring Lazio, the visitors have the weapons to make this a lively contest. It’s hard to say who comes out on top, but one thing’s for sure: goals should be on the menu in Rome.

Over 1.5 Goals @1.49
Lazio and Bologna both thrive on open, attacking football. Lazio average 2 goals scored per match and concede just under one, while Bologna average 1.71 goals scored and 2.71 total per game. The hosts have hit over 1.5 goals in 67% of their matches, and Bologna exceed that in 71%. Add to that both teams’ recent form, Lazio scoring in each of their last three home matches, Bologna netting in six of nine away and the Over 1.5 Goals market feels logical. With Orsolini chasing the club scoring record and Zaccagni rediscovering form, both managers will look to exploit tired defenses in the second half. The Stadio Olimpico atmosphere often sparks end-to-end play, and neither side tends to sit back. It’s hard to see this one ending quietly, expect at least two goals.
