Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Bologna
Following a goalless draw with Real Valladolid in their last warm-up game, Lazio will look to kick off the new Serie a campaign in style when they host Bologna to their Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The club chiefs did well to sign Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Marcos Antonio earlier this summer, and the Brazilian is likely to make his Serie A debut against Bologna. There are no injury worries in the home team ahead of the season opener.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, continue to rely on Marko Arnautovic, who has been on Manchester United’s radar of late. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in the opening match of the season. In their last meeting in the Eternal City Lazio recorded a routine 3-0 win over Bologna.
