Bologna – Chievo, Serie A Prediction

Once Bologna was broken by Atalanta very quickly, they faded, because they had three consecutive wins. The battle for survival is still going on for them and will be in full force for quite some time. They are now obliged to win perhaps their easiest league match since the start of the season. Either way, Bologna is much more stable at home if you can talk about anything like this about a team that’s in the relegation zone.

Chievo was also crushed by 4-0 and not by any of the top teams, but by Sassuolo. Flying donkeys are preparing for Serie B season and are playing the campaign at low pace. Still, they are very weak in attack. They will try to keep collecting draws as they will not reach more victories. For now, they only have one against Frosinone with 1-0 at home. After 1-2 rounds it will be theoretically confirmed that Chievo gets relegated.

We think the guests will go very defensive, while Bologna will be extremely cautious, because this game can slip them very badly if they do not win it. We do not expect beautiful football, nor do we think we will be looking at a beautiful game with nice plays and situations. Most likely Bologna will win, but will be minimal and are likely to defend their lead if they lead early. Our forecast for this match is Under 2.5 goals at 1.69.

• 6 of the last 8 Bologna home games finished with Under 2.5 goals
• Chievo scored just 9 goals in away games in the league this season
