Bologna vs Monza Predictions

• Bologna’s last five home wins have all been by two or more goals.
• Four of Monza’s six away Serie A losses have been by two or more goals.
• Bologna have conceded just eight goals in 16 Serie A games at this venue.

Bologna in control of European destiny

Bologna have a three-point lead over Roma in the battle for fourth spot in Serie A and they can make sure they remain ahead of their rivals by seeing off visitors Monza on Saturday.

I Rossoblu’s success this term has been largely down to their incredible record at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, where they have collected 38 of their 58 points.

Thiago Motta’s side have won 17 of their last 19 home games and their only losses at this venue have come against the current top two.

The hosts are a fairly short price to win but still backable at the current odds in the straightforward match betting, but for a bigger price taking a chance on Bologna to cover a -1 handicap stands out.

Bologna’s last five home wins have all been by two or more goals and they have conceded just eight times in Serie A in front of their own fans this season.

Monza do have a reasonable away record with just six losses in 15 trips but four of those losses have come by more than one goal, and they have failed to score in all of those road defeats.

As such, Bologna can win with some room to spare here and a 2-0 win is the correct score prediction as they average just under two goals per-game at home.

Riccardo Orsolini has 10 goals in 27 Serie A games for Bologna this season and his last four have all come in home games. The Italy international scored a stunner in the 3-0 win over Salernitana in Bologna’s last outing at the Renato Dall’Ara and he can give the home fans something to shout about this weekend by adding to his account against Monza.
