In this week 2 match, on Sun Aug 21st, Bologna will play host to Hellas Verona in a Serie A match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which is great football weather. 12th placed Bologna is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Lazio. Marko Arnautović scored the first goal for Bologna in the 38th minute from the penalty spot, but Lorenzo De Silvestri got the equalizer for Lazio on an own goal in the 68th minute from the penalty spot Finally they completed the comback in the 79th minute on a goal by Ciro Immobile to cap off a wild match. Bologna looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while hellas Verona is fresh off their 2-5 loss against Napoli. Kevin Lasagna struck first for Hellas Verona in the 29th minute, then in the 37th minute, Hirving Lozano sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 55th minute on a goal by Piotr Zieliński. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Hellas Verona is glad to have Kevin Lasagna in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals. Musa Barrow and Nicola Sansone are the top scorers for Bologna in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
