Hellas Verona v Bologna

Verona vs Bologna Preview

Verona will entertain Bologna on Monday night when the Italian top flight action returns after the international break and both sides head into this upcoming clash sitting in the top half of the Serie A table having both made encouraging starts to this new campaign.

Verona have collected two wins from their opening three matches which have resulted in victories against Empoli 1-0 away from home and an impressive 2-1 home win against Jose Mourinho's Roma side and although Verona were dealt a 3-1 loss away from home at Sassuolo just before the break, Monday night's hosts will still feel confident about their chances of bouncing back with a win here at their Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

The prospect of goals also looks highly promising for this upcoming encounter against Bologna as two of Verona's opening three games have also witnessed three goals or more while the bigger picture shows that six of Verona's last 10 matches overall in Serie A have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Six of Verona's last 10 games overall have also resulted in both teams scoring and this is also the case in Verona's last 10 games on home soil as well.

Bologna have also made a fairly promising start to this new Spanish top flight season despite losing their opening game of the new term 2-0 at home to AC Milan as the visitors have managed to steady the ship with a solid point on the road away from home at Juventus in a 1-1 draw which was followed by a 2-1 home win against Cagliari just before the international break.

Although Bologna have found league wins fairly difficult to come by as they have collected just five wins out of their last 16 matches overall in Serie A, the visitors have also suffered just the three defeats within this period as well and this gives the away side a decent chance of getting something out of this upcoming trip to the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on Monday night too.

Goals for both teams have also featured on a prominent basis where Bologna have been concerned in the Italian top flight as well, as eight of Bologna's last 10 matches overall have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net, while this ratio also applies to Bologna's away games in recent times too.

Eight of Bologna's last 10 outings on the road have produced goals for both teams and this trend may well follow suit on Monday night as well, with both Verona and Bologna in promising form.
