Will the game go into extra time?
The season could be going better – for both teams in our Bologna vs. Lazio Rome tip. The Coppa Italia quarterfinals offer both opponents an opportunity to improve their season.
However, the form curves of the two quarterfinalists are too weak and their offensive play too limited.
Spectators saw how the white and sky blues can win their games this season in the round of 16. Maurizio Sarri and his protégés won 1-0 in an uneventful match against AC Milan. Both clubs scored less than one expected goal (0.94:0.88 xG) in that encounter.
The Rossoblu’s path has not been any easier. Bologna struggled in the round of 16, but managed to scrape through to the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win over Parma thanks to a late goal shortly before the final whistle. The Bologna – Lazio Rome betting odds immediately reveal the weaknesses of both clubs.
If you open the Bet-at-Home app, you will find odds of 1.55 for “Under 2.5 goals” in the game. Too little for a single bet – just the right amount of expected risk in a match combination. As already mentioned, we give the visitors a slight advantage.
Mauzrio Sarri has installed a much stronger defense in his team than his counterpart Vincenzo Italiano. We are now picking up on that again and recommending a Bologna vs. Lazio Rome odds of 2.30 for “X2 & Under 2.5 goals.”
Bologna – Lazio Rome Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Since 1996, these two Italian clubs have played each other 52 times. Lazio Rome won exactly half of those matches (26). In addition, twelve encounters ended without a winner, while Bologna won the remaining 14 matches.
However, with the turn of the year, Vincenzo Italiano’s team completely lost their form and the necessary luck. The Rossoblu were particularly disappointing at the national level, losing six of seven games in Serie A, most recently four games in a row.
Bologna – Lazio Rome Tip
The problem is a combination of several factors. Defensively, Bologna concedes too many dangerous chances on average, while up front they too rarely find their way into the desired areas around the opponent’s goal.
From this, we deduce a slight advantage for Sarri’s team, who, thanks to their disciplined work against the ball and their ball-dominant style of play, are able to bring more calm to matches. Furthermore, the Eagles have a good record in the Coppa Italia.
Between 2012/2013 and 2018/2019, the white and sky blues reached the final four times, winning two trophies. In addition, Lazio are in the quarterfinals of the Italian cup competition for the 15th time in a row. Also important: the Romans have lost only one of their previous six league games and have often found ways to win points at the national level. Betting on a Lazio win in regular time would be too much of a good thing. However, you can definitely bet against a Lazio defeat in this matchup.
