Bologna vs Brescia Predictions

• Bologna have scored in 100% of their home games this season.
• The hosts have seen both teams score in 14 of their last 15 Serie A games.
• 4 of the last 5 clashes between these two sides have seen both teams score.
• Each of Bologna’s last 9 home games have seen BTTS land.

Can Brescia Step Clear?

This clash on Saturday looks like a chance for Bologna to pick up another win against Serie A’s bottom side. However, can the visitors take the opportunity here? They are just a point shy of safety, so they have the chance to step out of the bottom three in the opening game of the weekend.

However, Brescia have been in that position for a while, as they have picked up only two points from their last six matches. That poor form has left them bottom and blown multiple opportunities to get to safety.

Home Entertainment

Bologna have been stepping it up this season, making good strides going forward. The Rossoblu have scored more goals at this stage of the season than any time across the last decade, having doubled last term’s 16 goal haul from their first 21 games. That’s made them one of the league’s big entertainers, having scored in 100% of their home games.

However, the visitors have seen 15 goals for and 15 against in 10 home matches so far. It’s certainly been an entertaining run of matches for Bologna’s home support, but their defensive concerns show no sign of improving. Bologna have now seen both teams score in 14 of their last 15 matches, so a high scoring clash is likely here. The Rossoblu have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last 17 matches in all competitions, so we expect them to concede against Brescia here.

Brescia Pack a Punch

Brescia may be bottom, but they are a side to fear in front of goal. The visitors have scored in 80% of their trips, while they’ve found the net in six of their last eight games. On Friday night Brescia should have added to their goal tally, but they met an AC Milan side who had Gianluigi Donnaruma in inspired form. As Bologna’s defensive record shows, they won’t put up as much of a fight.

Brescia still come here having seen four of their last five matches finish with both teams finding the net. Meanwhile, four of the last five clashes between these two sides have seen both teams score. We expect that to continue, with Bologna seeing both teams score in each of their last nine home games. We’re backing BTTS as our main pick here.

Brescia ave lost 14 of their 21 matches so far this season, while they’ve been beaten in 60% of their away trips. The visitors come into this clash with three losses in four, which has us backing the hosts in this clash. Bologna ended a three-game winless run in the league by beating SPAL on the road, while they pulled off a thrilling 4-3 win in the reverse fixture. We see them edging this one, with a 2-1 home win our pick.
