Lazio vs Bologna: Lineups, Predictions & Betting Tips

A key clash in the battle for the Serie A takes place at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday as Bologna travel to capital Rome to take on Lazio.

The hosts, who sit in eighth place, have been in recent inconsistent form and manager Maurizio Sarri will be looking for a home victory to boost their chances of securing European football next season.

Their opponents Bologna sit in 6th and have enjoyed a solid campaign so far with just one defeat in their previous five games. A trip to the Olimpico always represents a tough challenge, but Bologna's strong recent form will give them good reason to be confident.

Lazio Predicted Lineup

Goalkeeper: Provedel

Defenders: Pellegrini, Romagnoli, Gila, Marušić

Midfielders: Bašić, Vecino, Guendouzi

Forwards: Zaccagni, Dia, Isaksen

Bologna Predicted Lineup

Goalkeeper: Ravaglia

Defenders: Miranda, Lucumi. Casale, Zortea

Midfielders: Pobega, Moro

Forwards: Orsolini, Odgaard, Dominguez, Castro

Lazio Last Five Results

Milan 1-0 Lazio

Lazio 2-0 Lecce

Inter 2-0 Lazio

Lazio 2-0 Cagliari

Pisa 0-0 Lazio

Sarri's side have struggled for goals of late, with just four scored in their last five games. However their defence has remained mostly strong with three clean sheets and just three conceded in the same time. If the team from the capital can get their attack firing again the European places won't seem far away.

Bologna Predicted Lineup

Bologna 1-3 Cremonese

Bologna 4-1 RB Salzburg

Udinese 0-3 Bologna

Bologna 2-0 Napoli

Bologna 0-0 Brann

A 2-0 home victory vs Napoli has been the most impressive of Bologna's recent results, who are coping well with balancing domestic duties with European action in the UEFA Europa League. However a 1-3 loss at home to Cremonese would have dampened the mood slightly.

Key Players to Watch

Lazio: Mattia Zaccagni

Lazio's captain has been the main man for Sarri's attack for a while now. And with Lazio struggling for goals recently the Italian international will be the man they look too to fire in the much-needed goals.

Bologna: Sanitago Castro

Argentine striker Santiago Castro has four goals in Serie A so far this season, and up against a strong Lazio backline will need to be on top of his game to strike in Rome in Sunday's clash
