On Sunday, Lazio will host Bologna at the historic Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A as both teams look to bounce back from their disappointing league performance.
The Biancocelesti enter this match, having got back to winning ways following a loss last weekend. They have managed three wins and two losses in their last five games, with their previous game ending in a 1-0 home victory against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia.
Meanwhile, the Rossoblu are in excellent form, having won three games in a row, with one draw and one loss. However, their three-game unbeaten run came to an end following a 3-1 loss at home to Cremonese, but they recovered from the loss with a 2-1 win over Parma in the cup competition.

Lazio vs Bologna prediction: Home team to claim narrow win
Key statistics
- The Biancocelesti have dominated their home meetings against Bologna, with four wins in their last five.
- Lazio have won their last three home games in the Serie A and are unbeaten in their last five.

Correct score prediction: Lazio 2-1 Bologna
Given the form of the two teams, Bologna are in better shape than the host, but we are tipping Lazio to secure a narrow victory over the visitors in this encounter. Lazio generally performs well at the Stadio Olimpico, but Bologna’s current confidence is exceptionally high, making them a very difficult opponent to defeat. We believe the game will be very tight, but we expect Lazio to nick a 2-1 win in the clash.

Player to watch: Riccardo Orsolini
Despite Lazio being tipped to win this tie, they need to be wary of the in-form Riccardo Orsolini, who has been Bologna’s key player, with his dangerous movement in attack. The Italian striker is enjoying an outstanding season, consistently contributing to the team’s success in recent weeks.
This season, Orsolini has scored six goals and provided one assist in the league. He has also scored in back-to-back games, showing his threat in the final third. His physical presence and creative output will be vital for Bologna as they look to avoid defeat against Lazio.
