Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna play host to Verona at their Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in the opening match of the Serie A round 26. The Rossoblu look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. To make things even better for the home side, Switzerland midfielder Remo Freuler is back from suspension, while defender Adama Soumaoro is a major doubt.
The Mastini, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. Verona have suffered four defeats in the last five away fixtures and given Bologna’s splendid form, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Forward Juan Manuel Cruz remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. When the two teams met in the Coppa Italia in October 2023 Bologna defeated Verona 2-0.
