Team Analysis
In Serie A action tonight, last season's runners-up, Lazio, haven't performed up to expectations this season, currently sitting in eighth place, trailing the top four Champions League spots by 5 points. However, they face off against a direct competitor tonight, Bologna, who have shone brightly this season. At the start of the 2024 season, Lazio enjoyed a five-game winning streak but suffered setbacks in the league against Napoli and Atalanta after losing the Supercoppa Italiana.

However, they quickly bounced back, securing a 1-0 home victory over Bayern Munich in the league and Champions League double-header, which significantly boosted morale and confidence. Similarly, Bologna had an embarrassing run of five winless games towards the end of 2023 and the start of 2024 but have since won their last three matches, including a convincing 2-0 victory over seventh-placed Fiorentina in a rescheduled midweek Champions League clash. Considering their ninth-place finish last season, Bologna has made significant progress this season.

Odds Analysis
Lazio, who performed better last season, managed just 1 win and 1 draw against Bologna, failing to secure a double. In the first leg of this season, they suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat away from home. However, Lazio enjoys a significant advantage when playing at home, having won their last five home games against Bologna. Bologna's three consecutive wins have all come at home, but they have been winless in their last five away games. With Lazio riding high after defeating Bayern Munich, their momentum is unstoppable, making them the favorites to clinch victory!

Pick: Lazio
