Hellas Verona remain in deep trouble in Serie A, but they can stretch their unbeaten run to three matches in Italy’s top flight on Friday. Bologna will be the visitors, as they search for a third win in four matches to edge closer to the top six places.
Serie A Preview
It may have been a good couple of weeks for Hellas Verona, but they remain locked in the relegation spots in Serie A. Verona comes into this match after going two without a defeat, but they are still three points adrift from safety in the current standings. They weren’t able to record a second straight win in the league last weekend, as they played out a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Napoli.
Despite falling to win, it was one of Verona’s best performances of the season, as they restricted the runaway leaders at the top of the standings to just a single shot on target. Verona also had their chances to claim maximum points, as they had two efforts on target in the second half. The draw would have given them huge confidence ahead of their crucial final month of the season.
Bologna will be looking to continue their excellent run of form in Serie A this weekend, as they chase a third win in four games. The Italian side currently sits four points off the European spots in the Italian division, but they have played a game more than Atalanta, who currently occupies the final European spot.
However, Bologna has shown excellent form in recent months, winning two of their previous three matches. But, they weren’t able to pick up a third straight success in the league over the weekend, as they were held to a home 1-1 draw against AC Milan. The hosts got off the perfect start following Nicola Sansone’s goal, but Milan struck back with five minutes of the first half remaining.
