In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the game in the 28th round of Serie A.

Over a stretch of 31 matches, the "red-blue" team achieved a positive result in 16 cases, while Verona managed to upset their opponent only 7 times.

Head-to-head statistics Verona - Bologna
Hellas Verona Team Overview
Verona continues to struggle with a lack of points. Yes, after 27 rounds played, the team is in fourteenth position, with a 4-point gap from the relegation zone, but recent results give no cause for joy. The "Mastiffs" have lost 3 out of their last 4 matches, and in all the games they lost, they failed to find the key to their opponents' goals. Last weekend, Paolo Zanetti's squad traveled to Turin to face Juventus, but they couldn't put up any real resistance. 0.28-1.85 in xG, 5-27 in shots (2-9 on target), 0-2 in created goal-scoring opportunities - all the numbers were in favor of the "Old Lady." And it's worth considering that Juventus has been far from impressive this season. As for the upcoming clash, Verona will be unable to count on 4 players, including Abdu Harroui and Suat Serdar, who remain sidelined due to injuries.

Bologna FC Team Overview
Bologna, on the other hand, shows more acceptable results than Verona. Yes, there are occasional setbacks, such as in matches against Parma (0-2) and Lecce (1-1), but the percentage of victories is much higher. In the previous round, the "red and blues" were stronger than Cagliari (2-1), outplaying their opponent in all statistical parameters. Moreover, during the 90 minutes of play, Vincenzo Italiano's team allowed the "islanders" to make only 2 shots on their goal, which is pleasantly surprising. The team's position in the league table also does not cause serious concern. Bologna is in sixth place, trailing the top 4 by only 5 points. Regarding the upcoming confrontation, 3 players will miss the game, including the main central midfielder Remo Freuler, who almost always spends all 90 minutes on the field (due to an accumulation of yellow cards).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
As we have already noted, Verona has not shown the best offensive play in recent matches. In 3 out of 4 games, the "Mastiffs" were forced to leave the field without scoring, and in some cases, they couldn't even get close to the opponent's goal. Even in the winning encounter against Fiorentina (1-0), Paolo Zanetti's team was quite lucky - they took advantage of a moment when the opponent lost concentration and scored the only goal in the 95th minute. Considering that Bologna defends well, we predict both teams to score (no).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Verona is in the lower half of the Serie A table in terms of corners earned. The team rarely plays as the dominant side, resulting in relatively low numbers for this statistical parameter - an average of 4.2 corners per game. Overall, Bologna is also not a big fan of set pieces - averaging 4.6 corners. In this situation, one can opt for a total corners under 9.5 option.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have no doubt that in the upcoming encounter Bologna will take home 3 points. However, in this situation, our editorial team finds it difficult to agree with their opinion. Firstly, the "red and blues" have been playing poorly away from home. Since the start of the championship, Vincenzo Italiano's team has only secured 4 away victories. They couldn't defeat Parma (0-2), Lecce (1-1), or Empoli (1-1), who are facing serious issues in gaining points recently. Secondly, Verona itself can pleasantly surprise on their home turf. The "Mastiffs" have managed to deal with Fiorentina (1-0) and Roma (3-2), and even crushed Napoli (3-0), who are actively contending for the championship title. Moreover, in the first round, Paolo Zanetti's team managed to upset Bologna away (3-2). So, what has changed now? Therefore, our key betting option will be Verona's victory with a handicap (+1). We dare to predict that the upcoming match will end with a score of 0-0.
