Carpi vs Bologna Betting Tips

It’s a head-to-head clash between 19th and 20th place in Serie A. Neither club’s prospects of playing top flight football next season look especially good and both teams are seeking just their second win of the season.

Carpi fell back into losing ways last weekend after picking up a 2-1 victory over Torino two games ago. A trip to Atalanta proved tricky and they lost 3-0.

They’ve got some ability going forward and they’re not guilty of being too negative, but Carpi do concede a lot of goals and they do have the serious look of a Serie B side right now. They could hardly find themselves in a more critical stretch right now. They host Bologna on Saturday, travel to play Frosinone in the game after that and then host Verona. They need points.

The story is similar for Bologna, who have lost four straight after beating Frosinone 1-0 in September. They’ve had some tough games, but they’ve also missed chances to pick up points. Just four goals in eight matches tells most of the story, they’ve got to get better momentum going forward.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Carpi defence

Yes, Bologna’s goal-scoring record doesn’t make them a favourite to grab a goal, but we think they’ll get their opportunities in this game and they’ll have to have picking up three points on their mind to an extent.

2. Pick a winner?

Pretty tough to pick a winner in a crucial early season encounter like, it’s hard to trust either team, in fact, it’s impossible and the BTTS odds are better than even.

3. Carpi home field advantage

We’ll give Carpi a goal and a chance in this game because they do have home field advantage, they haven’t been that good at home, but they did beat another relatively defensive-minded team in Torino at home two games ago.
