Bologna vs Lazio

I know Lazio is in the good shape especially after win from Fiorentina but Bologna isn't weak team because during this season as mediocre team Bologna performance was quite stable and so far Bologna has been able to achieve 10 consecutive without loses in all competitions even Inter Milan , Juventus and Napoli were unable to beat them so Bologna had a potention to make Lazio get in trouble today

Bologna still losing Oussama El Azzouzi and Lorenzo De Silvestri because these players are still got injured and for Lazio all of their players in the good conditions and will be available today including Ciro Immobile and just like i said before Bologna defense was quite strong and it's not easy to broke it so i am doubt Lazio can able to broke their defense and i am thinking this match will be ended with draw and the odds for draw was quite high @3.05

Both teams performance not really difference yet looking on current standing remaining one point only, Lazio won 5 of 10 matches and Bologna have fewest won 3 of 10 matches but Bologna have many matches draw. Actually, more favorite Bologna than Lazio with comparison loss in Serie where Lazio have loss four matches and Bologna only got 1 match loss. Lazio have won last three consecutives matches in domestic league but they have poor performance in UEFA Europe League, but Bologna not bad performed last three matches exactly success take one points against Inter Milan.

I think match Lazio vs Bologna prefer will be draw but excited looking on current standings if Bologna take three points automatically will get higher slip position until 6th standings.

Lazio to win against Lazio, they did against Fiorentina in the last game. They will want to see that happening again.

Lazio won Fiorentina in previous game, that particular victory gave them an edge over their opponents. Lazio's stats are unbalanced this season, with 5W 1D 4L and a seventh-place wraps up in Seria A. It's not beneficial standing by and watching them continue to record inefficiencies; instead, they should stand in balance form and strive for better performances in League games. Lazio to win Bologna, the odds will be stacked against the host team this season. Maurizio Sarri intends to make initiatives to enhance his team's performance, allowing them to be in sufficient form to take home three points.

The Lazio team played quite well in the previous season. However, we do not expect much from this team this season. Because I know this group is not very strong. However, Lazio have been playing very well in their last few matches and the team is looking to move into the top four of the table. They have won 4 of the last 5 matches. Lazio's defenders have been performing well in the last few matches so they have performed as expected. However, the performance of Lazio's attacking players is still quite weak and erratic. Lazio players will have to work harder if they want to stay in the top four of the points table.

If you look at the start of the season, Lazio's performance has slowly improved and indeed at the start of the season the Lazio team experienced difficulties, but now they are slowly improving it and returning to their best performance.
To be able to compete at the top like they did last season is very possible because there are still a lot of matches left this season and it is possible for Lazio to recover.
I also noticed that Lazio's front line is a problem this season even though the players have not changed compared to last season, but Lazio's front line seems to have a lot of difficulty scoring goals and doesn't have good chemistry, maybe that's something the Lazio coach needs to fix.

Lazio players will have to work harder if they want to stay in the top four of the points table.

Lazio haven't had a great start to the season at the moment, but I think they can improve their performance well. Lazio have won 3 games in a row in Serie A currently against Atalanta, Sassuolo and Fiorentina, it has definitely made all the players even more excited to win more games in the future.

So far Lazio has been very unstable in the Champions League with 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw. They have 4 points from 3 matches, but I am sure they can still win a few more points, especially against Celtic or Feyenoord. Their defense wasn't too bad, but it didn't worth it the sharpness of their attackers. Lazio have only scored 12 goals in 10 Serie A games, that's only 2 behind Lautaro Martínez's total at Inter this season in 10 appearances too. They need to improve, but the competition this season is very tight.

I think that acmilan will be struggling in upcoming match against udinese.

As reported by footballitalia

With Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze out against Udinese, Stefano Pioli has three very different options to complete the Milan trident attack.

https://football-italia.net/milan-consider-options-to-replace-pulisic/

Pulisic and chulwueze will not able to play due to the injury. Pioli has no chance other than try to think even harder about which player that can replace their role as winger of acmilan at this moment. Pulisic was good but he was injury prone.
It seems like that giroud's mission become even harder caused by he must be carrying the team like the previous match. Acmilan may be so hard in defending its position to stay at the top position at this moment.

This is clearly give diadvantage for milan caused by udinese was not a weak club. Missing pulisic is also giving very big impact to the performance from acmilan at this moment. Leao was not also performing as good as last season.
I wonder who will be pulisic's replacement.

The opportunity for Bologna to win this match is very clear, because they are good in using home advantage to clear any strong teams to embrace three points which they will definitely apply the same method to disgrace Lazio 2-1. Since Bologna coach has prepared their defenders and midfielders  before the beginning of this season, show that a lot of things will happen for their favour to reach second or third position in this Italian league competition but it will be very difficult for them to drag first position with Inter Milan in this season. Lazio is a strong team that has defeated many teams in this season to get to where they are today but it will be difficult for them to make this match draw 1-1 to share the points.

Lazio's victory is very meaningful for them to add points and continue to improve their position on the standings, Lazio indeed not in stable performance this season and the victory over Fiorentina was due to a penalty kick taken by Ciro Immobile in the added minute of stoppage time. If not for the penalty, the match could have been ended in a draw, but it doesn't matter because the important thing is that Lazio can win the match.

The match against Bologna is a match that is quite difficult for us to predict and maybe I would avoid betting on that match even though the home team's advantage is a big influence, but Bologna is also not in good condition at the moment.

Actually, in the match against Bologna today, I feel that Lazio will have a little difficulty getting full points. Because Bologna this season seems to always succeed in making things difficult for the top teams in Serie A. For example, Bologna managed to hold Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus to a draw. And they will be the hosts in this match. Meanwhile, I see that Lazio's performance is not very stable at the moment. Sometimes they still have difficulty showing their best performance. Even Lazio in the UCL still seems to have difficulty collecting points. So this match looks like it will be even fiercer.

Yes, I admit that Lazio has proven all these improvements and at the beginning of Lazio's bad times at that time I said here that this situation is very natural to start the season very badly because of adaptation after yesterday's break and also having to build chemistry with new players and now it has been proven that Lazio slowly able to get back up.
If you think there is a weakness in the attack line, I slightly disagree because the current problem for me is that Lazio's midfield is very less effective, as there is a void in the midfield, while the attack line without support from the midfielders will be very difficult to score and this It will indeed be a difficult task for the trainer to immediately recover from a bad condition like this.

The Bologna team is very strong in home matches this season. I have seen Bologna's performance in several matches. Bologna players are confident in home matches and they are able to perform well. Also Bologna's overall performance is very stable. They have lost only one match out of 10 matches. The Bologna team was able to maintain consistency due to strong defence. They have managed to share points with strong teams like Napoli and Inter Milan. And so the Lazio vs Bologna match is likely to be a competitive one. The Lazio team is also in very good form, winning their last three matches. I don't think we will see many goals in this match. The match could be a 1-1 draw.

Lazio are not in good shape at all, but we haven't been able to understand the problem they have
among other things it is increasingly further away from the cup zone or it will wake up next year the only cup it will win will be the Italian cup

[Weawant]

In the last three meetings between bologna and Lazio, they drew the most recent and bologna lost the other two to Lazio, they are both directly behind each other with difference of a point as Lazio Has 16 point and at 7th position and bologna 15 points at 8th.

They are both average team in the serie A so I don't really expect much from both of them but then neither of both teams have been made the favourite as both teams have been give similar odds by bookies probably because they see them both as average team and may likely draw or one may have a lucky day to win the other, if there's a chance of a win I think it's more with Lazio because they want to further move up the table and getting three points from this match will go a long way for them, although they both have almost equal team strengths.

Overall, the opening match of Week 11 of Serie A between Bologna versus Lazio is quite interesting to wait for, even though it will not determine the top of the standings. It is very likely that this match will end in a draw if you look at the percentages of both. Bologna looks difficult achieve victory and also difficult to beat so far, they have drawn six matches in 10 weeks. Lazio is showing signs of a decline in performance compared to last season, even though in the previous three matches they managed to sweep clean with wins.

Head to head Lazio is still better than hosts Bologna, but personally I predict this match will end in a draw. Victory over Fiorentina could indeed be valuable capital for Maurizio Sarri squad, they must be able to score goals other than through the penalty spot, it is not impossible that the hosts will make it difficult for Lazio to push into the top four of the standings.

[KTChampions]

Old times don't play on the field   Now, even with one point more, Juventus is rated worse than Milan:

Inter 1.91

Ac Milan 3.75

Juventus 4.50

I don’t know whether this is correct or not, since Milan has actual bad results in big games, in any case, guessing who will become the champion in Serie A is a dubious activity. By the way, Milan has a very large number of goals conceded (they are the worst in the top 4), I think this is important even despite the fact that Inter scored many of these goals.

In my opinion, the odds for Juventus are incorrect, considering the fact that the team, also known as the Old Lady, has been consistently performing better than AC Milan at this moment. Seeing how acmilan got lose streak made me think that if pioli has lost its chance for the title race.
Milan has worst defendive lines compared with intermilan and juventus. Despite the unpredictable nature of the winner of Serie A, speculation plays a vital role in attempting to predict the uncertain outcome, particularly in determining the club with the greatest potential to clinch the title.
I see no problem in predicting it but my choice would be going for juventus/milan to get the scudetto this season. Im still feeling so confidence with the performance from both of clubs.

We must remember that if juventus had been facing several problems but it can be fixed by allegri. It's not also affecting the performance from old lady at this moment.
Juventus deserves to be called as tougher competitor for intermilan this season.

Did you mean Inter and Juventus? It seems to me that you are wrong to call Inter Intermilan sometimes this causes confusion.
Juventus' odds look unfair, I agree with that. Juventus can honestly be called an underdog relative to Inter, but the difference is definitely not twofold as you might think now if you look at the quotes.

Don't know if Lazio are good or not, they're only in 7th place and they're usually in the top 4 of Serie A.
Only 5 wins and 4 losses, so I'm not that impressed with Lazio this season.
Then Bologna have lost once to Empoli and the rest are more draws.

It's quite difficult to see who will win but with the possibility of both teams scoring goals it is very possible with the opportunity, usually Bologna appearing at home is quite more confident because they want to continue their good trend, this is quite interesting because if one loses it will be displaced from the current standings.

[giammangiato]

Fiorentina has home advantage so it will make it little difficult for Juventus to win the match even though in terms of performance and quality of play Juventus has the advantage.
I agree that Fiorentina is not a weak team and should not be taken lightly, but I still believe that Juventus can produce satisfactory results by trying their best to win the match.

Juventus performance is quite impressive and in the last three matches they have always won.
There is possibility that this season will be the start and opportunity for Juventus to fight for the title.

Napoli who were the winners last season are experiencing quite worrying conditions plus Milan was also defeated by Juventus in the previous match so Juventus toughest enemy is only Inter.

Yes, I must say that at the moment Juventus, as a fan, is satisfying me a lot.
I am very satisfied even if we are not playing any cups, never mind. But the games are fun and fun so I like watching my favorite team like this. <3
Fun and love

I wonder who will be pulisic's replacement.

Christian Pulisic and Raphael Leoa are key staters for AC Milan, though only one amongst the both have been more creative. Christian Pulisic has grown Into the player he wants for himself and his country. Leoa I know is god but has struggled with creating chances, scoring goals and helping teammates.
The absence of Christian Pulisic would be obvious, he was key to the goals scored by Oliver Giroud.
AC Milan should make moves for a younger number nine, Giroiis good but they can't put all hopes on a striker that makes use of his both legs to score goals not just his head.

Now the odds have dropped to @ 2.90, and if we look at the odds for Bologna @ 2.65 and Lazio @ 2.70 then it can be said that this is a match that is quite difficult to predict, because both teams have the same strength so this will be a match that is quite balanced with no the team that dominates more, and quite agree that this match can end in a draw.
However, Lazio, which is starting to get better again, doesn't seem like they will just get a draw after the previous three matches managed to get full points, so maintaining a winning streak will really help them to get back into the European zone, but Bologna won't give up even though they understand that Lazio won't. will be easy to beat, so a draw could be their target, especially this season they have gotten more draws, which is actually not a good record because a draw means losing quite a lot of points.

The opportunity for Bologna to win this match is very clear, because they are good in using home advantage to clear any strong teams to embrace three points which they will definitely apply the same method to disgrace Lazio 2-1. Since Bologna coach has prepared their defenders and midfielders  before the beginning of this season, show that a lot of things will happen for their favour to reach second or third position in this Italian league competition but it will be very difficult for them to drag first position with Inter Milan in this season. Lazio is a strong team that has defeated many teams in this season to get to where they are today but it will be difficult for them to make this match draw 1-1 to share the points.

The Bologna team is very strong in home matches this season. I have seen Bologna's performance in several matches. Bologna players are confident in home matches and they are able to perform well. Also Bologna's overall performance is very stable. They have lost only one match out of 10 matches. The Bologna team was able to maintain consistency due to strong defence. They have managed to share points with strong teams like Napoli and Inter Milan. And so the Lazio vs Bologna match is likely to be a competitive one. The Lazio team is also in very good form, winning their last three matches. I don't think we will see many goals in this match. The match could be a 1-1 draw.

from some of these discussions I have the same prediction that Bologna vs Lazio will most likely end in a draw because maybe from past matches Lazio has a chance to win but looking at the current situation of the two teams Bologna and Lazio have the same good performance and on the one hand the last meeting between the two teams also ended in a draw but consider taking a double chance because I am afraid the surprise comes to Lazio winning narrowly.

and for Napoli who will play away against Salernitana, perhaps there is no need to discuss it because logically Napoli will very easily score a big score beating Salernitana, but if Napoli loses I think there is something wrong with the match.

Currently, Juventus only competes in Serie A. But this seems to have a positive impact on the performance of their squad itself. Or as many people say, Juventus is better now because they only need to focus on Serie A. So it is not surprising that currently Juventus is ranked 2nd in the standings.

But in the next match Juventus will face Fiorentina. And I think Fiorentina is a pretty tough opponent. But maybe Juventus will still get full points in this match. Because Lazio also just beat Fiorentina. And I think Juventus could have done better than the way Lazio beat Fiorentina.

This could also be misleading as I am sure that all the Juventus players would prefer to also play in the Champions League. This is not like they are happy to have more free time and they can focus more on Serie A. These professionals want to compete. Did Napoli not play in the Champions League last season? And didn't they play a hell of a season despite also playing in the Champions League? Or all the other top teams like Manchester City when they won the treble, was it bad that they played in all competitions?
