Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Friday’s football game between Bologna and Lazio will open round 11 of the new Serie A campaign. The Rossoblu aim to extend their unbeaten run to ten games and they are surely capable of matching the Biancocelesti in front of home fans. Both Jhon Lucumi and Adama Soumaoro remain in the recovery room, while fellow defender Stefan Posch is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The capital club, on the other hand, did well to beat Fiorentina thanks to Ciro Immobile’s late goal from the penalty spot. The experienced forward should be recalled to the starting eleven, whereas Nicolo Casale remains on the sidelines with injury. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Elseid Hysaj):
Born on 2nd February 1994, Elseid Hysaj is an Albanian defender who has spent his entire professional career in Italian Serie A and he is predicted a bright future in the game. Empoli scouts spotted his talent while he was playing for Shodra youth sides, and after three years in the youth team, the full-back was promoted to the first team set up.
Hysaj performed really well in his first three years as a first team regular, helping the Azzurri gain promotion to the top fight in the process. One season in Serie A proved enough for the right-sided defender to secure a big club move as he joined Napoli in the summer of 2015 and immediately nailed down a regular starting berth.
Capable of doing dirty defensive work as well as making forward runs, Hysaj is a modern full-back, who is destined for big things. The talented footballer is already a key member of the Albania national team and he will represent the country at the Euro 2016 finals.
Highlighted Team (Bologna):
