Bologna vs Lazio Prediction
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Bologna and Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals? The decisive match of this stage will take place at the Renato Dall'Ara. Both teams enter the game not in the best form, with recent performances leaving much to be desired. However, in cup competitions, form often takes a back seat. With a spot in the Coppa Italia semi-finals at stake, both sides will be highly motivated to deliver a truly standout performance.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Bologna and Lazio in recent years has generally favored the Romans: out of 38 matches, the "Eagles" have claimed 19 victories, while the "Red and Blues" have secured 9 wins, with 10 encounters ending in a draw. Their most recent meeting, which took place in early December during the first round of Serie A, was evenly contested and ended in a stalemate (1-1).
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Bologna Team Overview
🔴 Bologna continue to disappoint their supporters. Over the last 12 matches across all competitions, the "Rossoblu" have managed just two victories, clearly illustrating the depth of their current slump. Their most recent encounter was particularly disheartening: on February 8, despite dominating play, they fell 0-1 at home to Parma, a team fiercely battling for survival.
🔵 Interestingly, in the previous round of the Coppa Italia, Bologna also faced Parma and advanced with a 2-1 win. However, that match took place back in early December when the team was in much better form, and even then, the victory was hard-fought-secured only by a decisive goal in the 89th minute.

Lazio Rome Team Overview
🔵 Lazio haven't been in great form recently either. In their last nine matches, they've managed just two wins, highlighting the current struggles for the Romans. Last weekend, the Eagles were on the verge of a big upset, but they couldn't hold onto a two-goal lead away against Juventus (2-2). Based on their performance, Lazio probably didn't even deserve a draw.
⚪ As for the previous round of the Coppa Italia, the Romans barely advanced. In a home game against AC Milan, Lazio scraped through with a narrow 1-0 victory in a cautious and uneventful match, where a single moment decided the outcome.

Latest news
Bologna
📣 Bologna's head coach Vincenzo Italiano views the 1-0 defeat against Parma as a reflection of a challenging phase in the season, despite his team's commendable performance: "Conceding a late goal? It's typical for the period we're in right now. We can't afford even the slightest mistake-otherwise, we lose the match. We were down to ten men after a sending-off, which I believe was unwarranted, but despite that, we created chances and stayed competitive, minimizing errors. Today, we played like Bologna, but given the current circumstances, we need to do even more."
🚫 Bologna face minimal personnel issues. Lorenzo De Silvestri's participation is doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Haralampos Lykogiannis, also sidelined with a muscle problem, is expected to return by the end of February.
Lazio Rome
📣 Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri praised his team's resilience following their 2-2 draw with Juventus: "At 0-2, there was still plenty of time left, and Juventus performed very well. There's some regret: five minutes before the end, we had a chance to make it 1-3, but we didn't capitalize on it. Securing a point at this stadium is always a positive outcome. I take away the confidence that these guys are very hard to break-they respond to everything and never hang their heads."
🚫 Lazio are facing more serious squad issues. Samuel Gigot remains unavailable due to a muscle injury, with no return date set yet. Manuel Lazzari (shin injury), Toma Basic (muscle injury), and Mattia Zaccagni (stomach injury) will not play until the end of February.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Bologna are in such poor form that they're struggling to find the back of the net even at home. They've scored no more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home matches. The only exception was a 2-2 draw against Celtic, where the "Rossoblu" played with a numerical advantage for over half the match. Considering Lazio's solid defensive record this season, conceding very few goals, the option of Bologna under 1.5 goals seems reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In head-to-head clashes, the "Rossoblu" rarely exceed the high mark for corners - Bologna have taken fewer than 5.5 corners in 10 of their last 11 matches against Lazio. Their December encounter was telling, with Bologna managing just three corners. We see no reason to expect the upcoming match to deviate from this established trend.
Editor's Prediction
According to bookmakers, Bologna are considered favorites for the upcoming clash, but the hosts shouldn't expect an easy ride. Recently, the "Rossoblù" have been struggling, losing even to teams at the bottom of the table-0-1 to Parma, 2-3 to Genoa, and 1-2 to Fiorentina. Lazio are also far from their best form; however, the Romans often manage to draw and score regularly. Another point in favor of the visitors is Bologna's defensive issues, having conceded in 18 of their last 19 matches. Considering these factors, a bet on a Lazio goal seems the most reasonable option here. We anticipate a 1-1 scoreline at the end of regular time.
