Team News: Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro is close to recovering from a long-term muscle injury but will not be available for this fixture.

Team News: Nicolo Cambiaghi is suspended due to his red card against Como last time out. Jhon Lucumi and Federico Bernadeschi are injury absences as well as first team keeper, Lukasz Skorupski.
Hellas Verona are unfortunately not very good. They are currently 19th in the Italian Serie A with 13 points, and two wins from 19 games. They have one win at home all season, however they are only three points from safety, due to the closely knit top flight relegation battle in Italy this season.
Bologna are in 9th, have fallen away from European contention in the last month. They have 27 points, and six losses all season, notably four of those losses have arrived since the start of December, highlighting their form’s nosedive.
In their last 21 meetings, Hellas Verona have 5 wins, Bologna have 10, and there have been 6 draws. There were over 2.5 goals in both league encounters last season, with the away team winning both times.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
Hellas Verona Last 5 Matches:
Hellas Verona enters mid-January in a state of high anxiety, rooted near the bottom of the Serie A table. Their last five matches have yielded just four points, highlighted by a huge away win over relegation rivals Fiorentina and a gritty draw against Napoli. However, these flashes of quality were sandwiched between demoralizing defeats: a loss to AC Milan, a heavy home defeat to Torino, and most recently, a narrow loss to Lazio. While they have shown they can compete with the league's giants, their inability to keep clean sheets and find consistency has left them desperate for a turnaround.
Bologna Last 5 Matches:
Bologna’s recent form has been a rollercoaster, particularly as they balance domestic duties with European competition. Serie A results have been harder to come by. They suffered a defeat to Juventus and a disappointing loss to Inter Milan, followed by a lacklustre draw with Sassuolo. Their most recent fixtures, a home loss to Atalanta and a draw with high-flying Como, suggest a team currently struggling for goals and defensive cohesion as they slip toward the mid-table
Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions with 83.3% confidence in both teams to score and 75% confidence in over 2.5 goals. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.
Football Park’s Best Bet: Over 2.5 + BTTS @ 2.62 (Kwiff Bet) - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted plenty o’ goals in this fixture. Their form and head-to-head record justify confidence in this selection.
Gift Orban (Hellas Verona): Verona has only scored four goals in their last five games; however, three of those have come from the young Nigerian forward. Having missed out on an AFCON call-up, Orban will be looking to continue his scoring streak in this upcoming fixture.
Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna): Orsolini’s downturn in form has coincided with Bologna’s. The 28-year-old hasn’t scored in the league since early December, but after being benched against Como last time out, could be back with a bang in this fixture.
