SPAL vs Bologna Predictions

  • SPAL have conceded in 90% of their league games this term.
  • The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 8 in the league.
  • Bologna have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 Serie A games.
  • The Rossoblu have seen BTTS land in 13 of their last 14 league matches.

SPAL Keep the Dream Alive

SPAL pulled off one of the shocks of the season on Monday night, as they fought back to win 2-1 at Champions League contenders Atalanta. That took SPAL off the bottom of the table, with the club now hoping to push towards safety for the third season in a row. Their impressive spell at this level could be extended, but can they see off Bologna on Saturday afternoon?

Hosts Need Consistency

SPAL may have a massive result behind them, but they need to add to that regularly to survive the drop from the top flight. The good news for the home side is that they’ve done that quite well over the years. Their two seasons in the top flight following promotion have seen them put together long stretches of good form, enough to take them clear of danger.

However, they’ll need to iron out their problems in the league and that could prove too much as they try to stage a third unlikely survival bid. The issue for the hosts is that they’ve conceded far too many goals this term, failing to keep a clean sheet in 90% of their league games this term. They’ve conceded in eight on the bounce in Serie A, keeping only one home clean sheet this term.

Bologna Battle on

While SPAL need consistency to see them over the line, Bologna are thriving without it. The visitors are one of Italy’s most entertaining sides thanks to their attacking approach and their defensive issues. The visitors come into this clash having scored in 85% of their league games this term, but they’ve also conceded a goal in 15 consecutive Serie A matches.

Last weekend brought another Bologna clash which finished without a clean sheet for either side. Their 1-1 draw was the 13th time that both teams have scored across their last 14 league outings. We expect more of the same in this one, with SPAL finding their feet but struggling at the back.

We’re going for both teams to score in this one, while the improving SPAL could stumble here. The visitors are unbeaten against the bottom five this term, so we are going with a 1-1 draw in this encounter, a repeat of the meeting at this ground in January last year.
