Match Time & Date:

12:30
Prediction: 1-1
Bologna
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Cagliari, Lazio will be aiming to climb to the Conference League berth when they take on Bologna on Matchday 25. The Biancocelesti are eyeing their seventh home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their quality on the field. Nicolo Rovella returns from suspension, while both Matias Vecino and Alessio Romagnoli is banned for the match. As always, veteran striker Ciro Immobile will lead the line for the hosts.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, rolled over Lecce 4-0 at the weekend, but given their ups and downs on the road, the share of spoils is on the cards in Rome. Defender Adama Soumaoro remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.
