Verona vs Bologna. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (January 21, 2022).

Verona endured a woeful start to the season, but after Igor Tudor was appointed head coach for the Mastiffs, the team managed to climb out of the crisis and even joined the race for the top-6 finish. At the moment, the hosts are in 10th position in the Serie A standings with a good chance of making the European club competition zone. 

The Mastiffs have earned 30 points, only five points less than the 6th Fiorentina. However, the Violets have a game in hand, and they are not the only team that Verona have to worry about as Torino, Lazio, and Roma also hope to get European football next season. 

In the last round of Serie A, Verona recorded a high-scoring victory over Sassuolo (4:2). 

Bologna, on the other hand, had a solid start to the season, but soon dropped out of the top-10. Sinisa Mihajlovic's men alternated victories and defeats and managed only 27 points. The Rossoblu are currently in 13th place in the table.

The visitors have an 11-points handicap against the relegation zone and a game in hand. However, recent results of the team are disappointing - in the last round of games, Bologna lost 0-2 to Napoli, which was their fifth defeat in six matches. The team lost a number of key players to injury and covid after the winter break, which makes their position even more complicated.
