Bologna vs Lazio | Friday 11/3 | 3:45pm ET
Bologna +160 | Draw +225 | Lazio +160
Asian Handicap: Pick'em +0 | Total: 2.5
These two teams are statistically very similar to one another and appear to be evenly matched. Bologna averages 11.4 shots per match, Lazio averages 11.6. Bologna allows 11.8, Lazio allows 13.4. Bologna generates 1.36 xG, Lazio creates 1.42.
The biggest differences thus far are both in Bologna's favor. Bologna average 5.0 shots on target per match, good for fourth most in Serie A.
Defensively, according to xG, they are superior as well allowing only 1.0 xGA per match, which ranks as the 4th fewest behind only Inter, Juve and Atalanta, while Lazio allow 1.26 including 1.69 on the road.
Finally, Bologna own a +0.62 xG differential at home, while Lazio come in at -0.21 away. Bologna lost their opening match of the season, 0-2 vs AC Milan, but are unbeaten in their nine matches since.
They only have three wins though as they have settled for six draws during their current run, but that includes drawing with Juventus, Napoli and Inter. This team is more than capable of grabbing a result vs Lazio.
