The race for Europe continues in Serie A this weekend and these Bologna vs. Lazio predictions offer an update on the latest picture. Lazio are chasing a return to the Champions League with Bologna in the running for a potential Europa League/Europa Conference League spot.
Bologna vs. Lazio odds
1 – Lazio to win – 29/20
2 – Lazio under 2.5 total goals – 2/15
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 7/10
4 – Both teams not to score – 19/20
5 – Lazio to win 1-0 – 7/1
The battle for Europe could include up to ten teams in the final weeks of the 2022-23 Serie A season, as Napoli edge further ahead at the top of the table. Title rivals have seemingly given up in their quest to catch Luciano Spalletti’s impressive side, with the remaining matches set to focus on European qualification.
Ahead of this weekend, Lazio find themselves in a strong position to reach the Champions League group stages for the first time since 2008, as they are currently in third place behind Napoli and Inter.
Despite not having consistently better form than Bologna, they are in a better run than their hosts this weekend. There have been three league wins in their last four matches, compared to two in four, and that should tip the balance in their favour.
As the challenge of holding off their top four rivals steps up a gear, Lazio have relied on their tight defence to keep clean sheet, with narrow victories becoming a regular theme. Maurizio Sarri’s team have scored four goals in their last four league games, including two 1-0 wins – and they have not scored over 1.5 goals in a league match since the end of January.
Another victory for Lazio will stretch their unbeaten run on towards the international break. But Bologna are still in a strong position to fight for a European place, with the Italian Europa Conference League qualifier expected to stretch down to 7th in Serie A.

Bologna team news
Bologna’s injury picture remains unchanged ahead of this tie, with midfielder Nicola Bagnolini still a long-term absentee. Despite losing last weekend, the host’s options are limited, with Giorgos Kyriakopoulos and Joshua Zirkee potentially brought back into the starting side for this clash.
Lazio team news
An impressive win over runaway leaders Napoli last weekend could persuade Sarri to stick with a largely unchanged first XI. The match winner in Naples, Matias Vecino, was rated as doubtful, but he is now expected to be fit enough to start.
