Bologna vs Pisa predictions: Bologna are looking to continue their good run against Pisa
Key stats
- Bologna's last two matches recorded both teams to score outcomes.
- Pisa are winless in six games across all competitions.
- Bologna won their last two meetings against Pisa.
- Bologna have not conceded a goal in their last three fixtures against Pisa.
Correct score prediction: Bologna 2-0 Pisa
Bologna conceded a late goal in their last Serie A outing to deny them all three points against Lecce last Weekend. Following that, they drew against Freiburg in the Europa League, but those outcomes are less than desirable for the Red and Blues, and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
In addition, they have won their last two head-to-head clashes against Pisa, and all things being equal, this weekend, they are favourites to extend that good run to three games.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bologna are odds-on favourites
- HOME: 17/7 (3.43) – 29.2%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 19/4 (5.75) – 17.4%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Bologna will still be hurting from the late equaliser conceded against Lecce in their last league fixture and their draw against Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League.
And with strugglers Pisa coming to town, the Petronians will fancy their chances of claiming all the spoils in Sunday's encounter. Giving credence to that is their 17/7 (3.43), which translates to a 29.2% chance of winning.
Those odds compared to Pisa's 19/4 (5.75) odds for a win, a figure which represents a 17.4% probability of winning, the hosts are firmly backed by the bookies to win at the weekend.

Player to watch: Ricardo Orsolini
Ricardo Orsolini is clearly the man to watch for the hosts, as he has been their trump card in the last few seasons. This term, he has bagged three goals from five fixtures, and given the struggles of the visiting side, he could be on the scoresheet once again.
