Two sides in very poor form will square off in the last match of the Serie A 31st round, with Verona particularly desperate for points.
Bologna was looking like a sure fire relegation candidate in the first part of the season, but a run of great form got them out of the danger zone and they are now safe, owning an 8 point cushion ahead of the red zone. However, that good form is long gone, as Bologna has played very poorly lately. They have not won in the last 5 matches, scoring a single goal. Bologna is on the back of a 0-2 loss at Atalanta.
Verona is dead last in the standings and if they don’t win at least 1 point in this clash, their chances of survival will probably be over. Fortunately for Verona, their relegation rivals have all lost this round so the visitors, who are currently 9 points behind safety, have a shot to close the gap. They won’t be too confident though after claiming just 1 point in the last 4 matches and suffering a disastrous 1-2 home defeat to Carpi in the last round.

Verona’s level of desperation can’t be underestimated, but you have to feel that the loss against relegation rivals Carpi in the last round has shattered their morale. Still, Bologna is in very poor form and has nothing left to fight for, so it doesn’t look like an easy game for the hosts.
I can see both teams scoring in this match. Bologna will feel that this is their best chance to start scoring again and they surely worked hard in training on their struggling offense during the International break. As for Verona, they really don’t have anything to lose. A point would not help them much and this is not an impossible game, so they will most likely go for it, playing a more open style of football than usual.
The goals coring stats of the two teams do not suggest a high scoring game, but the circumstances do and I reckon the odds for a bet on goals are pretty decent. As such, my tip is Both teams to score. Prediction: Bologna – Verona 1-1.
Pick: Both to score
