On March 11, Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna) will host the match of the 26th round of the Serie A, in which Bologna will compete with Lazio. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.
Bologna
The team claims to be the main sensation of Italian football in the current draw. It happened even despite the fact that the project management had delayed the resignation of Mihajlović – Siniša had been fired after the start of the new championship. It goes without saying that Thiago Motta, who was forced to start the work already in the midst of the season, lost a lot of time to rebuild the game of his new wards. Still, it was noticeable how “the Red and Blues” added in the game already in the autumn. Speaking about the end of winter, there was a shocking beginning, when the team lost with a 0-1 score only in the home battle against Monza, taking the maximum with the rest of the opponents, including Inter, one of the leaders of the current draw. Then, the higher mentioned successes were followed by a defeat made by Torino.
Lazio
The club spends its second season under the rule of Maurizio Sarri. “The chain-smoking Maverick” became the hope of the capital after his long-term predecessor, Simone Inzaghi, had fled to Milan. And an experienced, albeit eccentric specialist, not only did not allow a decline in the game of his new wards – being under his rule, they even added. Speaking about the new season, especially taking into account the problems of Juventus, the task became more than obvious – to compete for a return to the Champions League, that is, for a place not lower than the top 4. The club cannot exist without failures – there were enough unsuccessful segments, still, to tell the truth, the same situation is also typical for the competitors. The recent draws in the matches with Fiorentina and Verona and the defeat in the battle against Atalanta prove the higher mentioned fact. But after that, the team managed to win not only in the struggles with Sampdoria and Salernitana, but also with Napoli, moreover, the leader of the Serie A was beaten away. Vecino’s goal in the 67th minute of the game remained the only one.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
