Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

The Biancocelesti currently sit in a disappointing eighth place, six points adrift from the European zone. However, the team’s form has noticeably improved over the past couple of months. In their last ten outings across all competitions, Lazio suffered only two defeats, both coming at San Siro against Scudetto contenders Inter and AC Milan (the latter in controversial fashion).

This run also witnessed five victories, including one at the expense of Juventus in Serie A, and Thursday’s revenge over the Rossoneri. Hence, things might be looking up for Maurizio Sarri’s men, albeit at a slow pace.

Bologna Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

After back-to-back European qualifications under two different managers, Bologna are no longer a surprise package in Serie A, but a bona fide challenger for a Top 6 spot, or even beyond. Moreover, Vincenzo Italiano’s men have been delivering the most entertaining brand of football in the league, according to a large section of fans and observers.

The Rossoblu had the opportunity to edge even closer to the summit last Monday, but they suffered a shock defeat at home to Jamie Vardy’s Cremonese. They have since bounced back on Thursday with a cup win over their local rivals Parma, thus setting up a meeting with Lazio in the quarter-finals. The Emilians currently reside in sixth place, and will be determined to keep the Biancocelesti at bay.

Lazio vs Bologna: Match Insights

Bologna’s impressive away run: Italiano’s men haven’t lost on the road in any of their last six travels across all competitions. Their most recent away defeat was on September 25 against Aston Villa in the Champions League.
Lazio’s recent home record: The Aquile have registered four straight victories at home across all competitions, and are unbeaten in their five.
Ciro Immobile’s homecoming: Lazio’s all-time top goalscorer made his return to action in midweek, just in time to make a potential appearance against his former employers.
Bologna’s slight advantage over Lazio: The Rossoblu won three of the last six meetings between the two clubs in Serie A, while the Biancocelesti prevailed twice, and the two sides shared the spoils on one occasion.

Expected Starting Lineups

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Vecino, Basic; Isaksen, Castellanos, Zaccagni.

Bologna (4-2-3-1): Ravaglia; Holm, Heggem, Lucumì, Miranda; Pobega, Moro; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Castro

Prediction: Lazio 0-1 Bologna

This will be an interesting matchup between the hosts, who have been doing well at home as of late, and the visitors, who have been equally successful on the road. This will also feature a tactical battle between Sarri, who switched to a more pragmatic approach due to Lazio’s technical limitations, and Italiano, who has managed to implement a thrilling playing style.

Therefore, Bologna won’t find the chaotic team they dismantled 5-0 last season under Marco Baroni’s watch, so they might struggle, but a cerebral side that will be waiting to hurt them on the counter. This could end up being a rather cagey contest, and while both sides were busy in midweek, the Emilians’ superior depth could come to their aid in the closing stages.
