Bologna vs Palermo Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Two teams on awful runs of form meet in Serie A on Sunday, will either be able to muster up a victory? They have the attacking talent needed to improve that form, but these two are poor at the back, and that’s costing them points. The way both are playing, expect goals in this clash.

Palermo are rooted in the relegation zone, having taken just six points from their 12 matches so far. All of those points have been picked up on the road. They’ll be aiming to add to that tally with victory against a Bologna side who aren’t looking too great themselves.

They’ve picked up 10 points from six at home, which accounts for the vast majority of their points haul this term. Bologna have dropped to 15th having failed to win any of their last seven matches. Luckily for them the bottom three have all been really poor this term so they still find themselves six points above 18th.

Palermo are one of those poor teams in the bottom three, and they can match Bologna’s seven game wait for a victory. Their run is actually even worse, seeing as they’ve now lost five consecutive matches in the league. They’re now four points from safety,and that looks like a giant gap given their current form. Will the visitors be able to turn things around this weekend?

They’ve both conceded in their last seven games, although they do have the firepower to respond with a few goals. Bologna average a goal per game at their own ground while Palermo have found the net six times in six away matches. They’ve also scored in their last six games, which shows that their problems lie elsewhere.

Bologna have been a little goal shy of late, but we’re backing that to change against this awful Palermo defence. They’ve conceded at least two goals in their last five matches while they’ve let in two goals per game on the road. They’ve also conceded in 83% of away games so far.

With that poor record, the hosts should have no trouble finding the net at least once. With both sides struggling at the back, we think both teams to score is the best bet here, at 19/20 with bet365.
