Sunday’s Serie A action will get underway with Lazio playing host to Bologna. The hosts are in seventh place in the league standings, while the visitors are fifth. Lazio will head into this weekend’s fixture brimming with confidence after overcoming Bayern Munich 1-0 in their Round of 16 first-leg clash in the Champions League in midweek. They will now look to bring the same type of form back to the domestic competition where consistency has eluded them this term. The Eagles are currently on 37 points after 23 matches and are the first side below the European qualification places. Their last league outing ended in a 3-1 win over Cagliari, taking their recent record to six wins, two draws and two losses in their last ten matches. At home this season, Lazio have secured six wins, three draws, and two losses in 11 Serie A matches. The Biancocelesti are currently on a three-match unbeaten streak that began in December 2023 when they faced Frosinone.

Meanwhile, Bologna are having another solid season and will head into this match firmly in the race for Champions League qualification. They have managed 42 points in 24 matches which leaves them level on points with fourth-placed Atalanta and four points clear of sixth-placed Roma. I Rossoblu won their last league match, beating Fiorentina 2-0 in midweek. That result marked their third consecutive win and fourth match unbeaten. They also scored two or more goals in each match during their current unbeaten streak. However, the visitors' major issue this season has been their record on the road. In 11 away games, Bologna have managed just one win, along with seven draws and three losses. They are currently on a three-match winless run, including a draw and two losses. While the Greyhounds won the reverse fixture 1-0 last November, they are the underdogs this time, according to the bookmakers.
