Team Analysis
In recent times, Bologna has displayed an impressive performance, capturing victory in ten and securing a draw in one of their prior eleven home games across different competitions. Their last game was a tremendous 2-1 triumph against the formidable Lazio team. This victory contributes to their winning streak, marking it as their fourth league victory in a row. This team, led by Thiago Motta, now shares the fourth place in the Serie A table with Atalanta. They look forward to keeping up their excellent performance as they host Verona, a team presently struggling to avoid relegation.

On the other hand, Verona has had a challenging journey with no league victories in their previous six games. Nevertheless, an encouraging performance was shown in their previous round where they held Juventus to an exhilarating 2-2 draw. In this game, Verona massively outperformed the top defensive team by registering nine shots on target, proving they still hold a competitive spirit.

Head-to-Head
The upcoming match is the third face-off between Bologna and Verona in this season. The first game ended in a goalless draw held at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi last September. However, Bologna claimed a 2-0 victory in their second encounter in the Coppa Italia tie held in late-October. The history shows that only two of the last seven head-to-head clashes between these teams have yielded three or more goals.

Odds Analysis
Considering their recent performance and historical confrontations, Bologna appears to be in a thriving state going into this tie. They boast an outstanding record in their past eleven home matches and have marked victory in 10 of their past 15 games when hosting Verona. Verona, on the other hand, showing less promising statistics, lost 10 and drew 3 of their recent 13 away matches. Consequently, there's a high expectancy for Bologna to dominate the game.

However, looking at Verona's last performance against Juventus, it would not be surprising if the team shows an unexpected level of competition and results in a high goal-scoring game. Speculations suggest the total goals might exceed 2.5, with Bologna scoring most of them, given their tendency to pile on the goals in recent home matches. However, as always, anything can happen in the realm of football.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals
