Venezia vs Bologna Predictions

• Venezia have suffered 10 consecutive defeats to drop to the bottom of Serie A, and would be relegated with another defeat.
• Bologna, meanwhile, are on a six-game unbeaten run despite facing the liked of Milan, Juventus, Inter, and Roma during that time.
• Venezia have lost seven of their last nine home games, only earning draws against out-of-form Empoli and fellow strugglers Genoa during that time.

End of the road for Venezia?

A dire run of 10 consecutive defeats means Venezia are rooted to the foot of the Serie A table, and will see their increasingly inevitable relegation confirmed with another loss this Sunday. Andrea Soncin’s side were beaten 2-1 by a resurgent Salernitana in a huge six-pointer last time out, and will not approach their match against Bologna with any sort of confidence.

Indeed, Venezia have also suffered from a dire home record, taking two points from the last 27 available in Venice, each against teams who were on long winless runs at the time, Empoli and Genoa. Furthermore, Venezia are Serie A’s second-lowest scorers with 29 goals, and have created the division’s second-lowest expected goals tally (32.2 xG).

Bologna, on the other hand, are unbeaten in six games despite facing each of Milan, Juventus, Inter, Roma, and a much-improved Udinese, and have also been boosted by the fantastic news that coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has left hospital after his leukaemia treatment, receiving the manager of the month award for his team’s outstanding April.

Bologna can send hosts down

Given the horrendous form of Venezia and the encouraging displays of Bologna, backing the in-form visitors to end Venezia’s stay in the top flight on Sunday looks the most obvious play. Meanwhile, Venezia have conceded multiple goals in four of their last five outings, so a 2-0 away win looks a strong play.
