Bologna to Win
Bologna managed to take four points from their last two Serie A assignments and on Friday, they look ready to push for more success when they welcome Spezia to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara . The visitors eked out a win in their last away test at Torino, though they slipped to defeat in seven of their eight contests on the road before that and they have a habit of dropping their performance levels on their travels. With that record in mind, our first prediction advises a stake on home win on Friday.
Both Teams to Score
Bologna have an impressive strike rate at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, where they have managed to rattle the net at least once in nine of their ten home fixtures in Serie A. Defensively, there are still wrinkles for Head Coach Thiago Motta to iron out however, and as a consequence, both teams to score has been a winning bet in 70% of their home games during the same period. BTTS landed when Bologna and Spezia drew 2-2 earlier in the campaign and the same market appeals at the prices on offer here.

Bologna vs Spezia Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Friday’s Serie A tussle between Bologna and Spezia below.
Bologna
Midfielder Gary Medel is expected to miss out this week for Bologna, as are attackers Nicola Sansone and Marko Arnautovic. In defence, Lorenzo De Silvestri and Kevin Bonifazi will hope to shake off issues to play a part. Bologna were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Cremonese last time out.
Predicted Lineup for Bologna: Skorupski – Posch, Soumaoro, Lucumi, Lykogiannis – Ferguson, Moro, Dominguez – Orsolini, Barrow, Soriano
Spezia
Keeper Jeroen Zoet is still nursing a ligament injury and won't be back in action until March, though personnel issues for Spezia elsewhere are few and far between. Spezia limped to a 2-0 reverse at home to Roma in their last Serie A outing, though they are still a healthy six points clear of the drop zone.
Predicted Lineup for Spezia: Dragowski – Hristov, Caldara, Amian – Holm, Bourabia, Ampadu, Reca – Verde, Gyasi – Agudelo
Player to Watch – Lewis Ferguson
23-year-old Lewis Ferguson joined a relatively small list of Scottish nationals to have played in Italy when he moved to Bologna from Aberdeen last year and the midfielder’s decision seems to have been justified already. Ferguson has established himself as a first-choice pick in the Bologna team and he has already scored three times in Serie A.
