The LAST match of today’s Serie A program will be played at “Olimpic”, where Lazio will welcome Bologna from 20:45.
“Sky Blues” are part of one of the most interesting races for the first place in the world. The leading six teams started this round with a difference of only two points that separated the first-placed Napoli and Juve, which is in the sixth position, while between them were Fiorentina, Inter, Lazio and Atalanta.
The situation changed after the triumph of “Neroazur” and the “goddess of the province” at the start of the thirteenth round against Verona (5:0), so that Atalanta is currently the first in the table and Lazio today would have to celebrate with a difference of eight goals in order to overtake it, but it is certain that Marco Baroni’s company would be satisfied only with a triumph to keep pace with Gianpiero Gasperini’s chosen ones.
It is Marco Baroni who is unexpectedly in the center of attention in Rome, due to the weak games of Roma, which has a very bad season, the media shifted their attention to Lazio, which is “blooming” and the young coach who took over the team this summer and turned it around 180 degrees.
“Sky Blue” was hard to watch last year, they really struggled and changed several coaches, but with the arrival of a seasoned expert, the situation changed considerably.
Lazio plays one of the best football in Italy, it’s pleasing to the eye, it’s in an attacking mood (scored 25 goals) and it met the representative break with four consecutive league victories.
This again attracted the fans of the home team to “Olimpico”, where the former champion of Italy offers incredible odds, carried by his audience, has the best domestic score in the league and has achieved five victories with a draw in six games (16 points).
The “Sky Blues” will have an extremely difficult opponent today, as the Bologna team is coming to their feet. Before the national team break, the guests won three consecutive victories and are playing very well this season, in which they have experienced only one league defeat so far.
It took time for manager Vincenzo Italiana to “unlock” Bologna, who mostly drew at the beginning of the campaign, but the Italian specialist has found a winning formula and his chosen ones look very good on the field.
The “red and blue” have shown that they like playing in Rome this and last season, as they won three times in the capital in the last year, twice they were better than Roma, and once they beat Lazio.
Bologna is very good defensively, it conceded only 13 goals, and recently it started to shake the net, which was its biggest problem at the start of Vincenzo Italiana’s tenure.
It can be said that the lack of goals is an expected thing considering the departure of Joshua Zirkze over the summer for whom no real replacement was found, but the Italian found a way to change that and during the aforementioned winning streak, Bologna scored six goals, exactly two on average.
For history lovers, it is worth noting that Bologna is in a series of two tied triumphs over Lazio, and if it celebrates again today, it will be the first time in 44 years that it has tied three victories over the “heavens”.
As for absences, the hosts are without Nuno Tavares and Castrovili, while on the other hand, Ebischer, Cambiagi, Ferguson and El Azouzi will miss the match.
Bologna’s streak of nine league matches is in great danger of ending at the “Olympic”, we believe that we will watch an extremely good match because the teams that play great football, among the best in Italy, are difficult to shoot and we decided to go for goals , one on each side.
