Bologna vs Lazio rounds off the Serie A opening weekend at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Monday, kicking off at 5.30pm (UK time), with the hosts narrowly favoured in a close-looking contest.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson leans towards the hosts in a tight one, with home advantage the likely difference between two well-matched sides.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Bologna to win11/10Bologna finished above Lazio last season and now have home advantage for the opening weekend at the Dall’Ara. This fixture looks finely balanced, but Bologna’s stronger campaign and home support could give them the edge. With Lazio also starting the season away from home, back Bologna to claim all three points.
Correct Score 1-0 Bologna4/6Bologna and Lazio both look capable of keeping things tight, with the two sides finishing just two points apart last season. The Dall’Ara could prove decisive in a match where clear chances may be at a premium, making a narrow home victory appealing. Back Bologna to edge it 1-0 at 8/1

How Bologna go into the game

Bologna finished eighth last season on 56 points, continuing their reputation as one of Serie A’s best-run clubs. The Dall’Ara is a tough venue and they will fancy their chances of a winning start.

Solid at both ends, Bologna rarely beat themselves. A disciplined home performance should give them a real chance of three points against a fellow mid-table side.

How Lazio go into the game

Lazio ended last season ninth on 54 points, a campaign that promised more than it ultimately delivered. They remain a quality side capable of beating anyone on their day.

On the road, Lazio can blow hot and cold, and a tricky trip to Bologna is a demanding opener. They will need to be at their most focused to take something from this one.
