LiontipsVerona vs Bologna. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (May 17, 2021).
Command Analysis
Verona are having quite a good season - the team had been completely rebuilt before the start of the season, but still the head coach Ivan Juric managed to avoid the relegation struggle. At the moment, the Mastiffs are on the 10th line in the table with 43 points, ahead of their today's rival by three points.
At the same time, it is unrealistic to expect Verona to get in the European competition zone - the seventh Roma has 18 points more. Such a big margin was mostly earned in the last month. The last victory of Verona dates way back to April 3, then they defeated Cagliari with a score of 2:0.
In the last round, Verona was absolutely helpless against the main outsider of the league, Crotone, who beat the mastiff 1:2. That loss extended the Mastiffs' winless streak to seven games.
Bologna are also having a solid season - Sinisa Mihajlovic's team set a task to keep their spot in Serie A, which they successfully did. At the moment, they are 11th in the table with 40 points, having a margin of nine points over the relegation zone. Bologna was actually never in danger of relegation this season.
The lack of tournament motivation at the end of the season led to a slight downturn, and the team's performance last month was not impressive. After Bologna beat Spezia in Round 31 with a score of 4:1, the team went on a streak without wins. A 0:2 home defeat to Genoa in the final round extended the streak to five games, but only two of them were defeats.

Tip and bets
Verona lack motivation. The best evidence is the game they lost to the main outsider of Serie A, who had won only two games this season before that. Nevertheless, in the last home game, the Mastiffs will strive to win. Bologna are not at their strongest right now, and they concede a lot, so the hosts have a real chance.
We think that the hosts have a better chance. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Verona.
Verona will be very motivated to win this game, and will definitely not sit back. There is no point in playing defensive: the Mastiffs at home are a force to be reckoned with, and the guests will have serious problems. But Bologna also can be dangerous, because they play attacking football, and we think that the teams will be able to score over three goals.
Our second bet - total over 3 goals.
