Fixture Analysis

It is a Serie A clash, Regular Season - 30 as Bologna welcome Lazio to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Kick-off is set for Sunday 22 March 2026 at 14:00 UTC.

Form Analysis

Looking at all fixtures this season, Bologna stand at 5W 0D 5L from 10 Serie A matches — 1.50 PPG. Last five: W W W L W. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

At home at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna have gone 2W 1D 7L this season (10 games, 0.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.70 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.70 lags behind their overall 1.50 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara this season.

Across all Serie A games this season, Lazio have recorded 4W 3D 3L from 10 outings — 1.50 PPG. Last five: L D L W W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.

On the road, Lazio have gone 2W 5D 3L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Bologna 1.50 PPG, Lazio 1.50 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

H2H Record

The H2H landscape is flat: 9 previous encounters have yielded 4 wins for Bologna, 3 for Lazio and 2 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

The 9 previous meetings have averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Dec 2025, ended 1–1 with a draw.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

In-Play Data

Bologna trading profile (67 games, 33 at home): they score before half-time in 52% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Lazio trading profile (67 games, 33 at away): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; BTTS occurs in 33% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Bologna 54% versus Lazio 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Bologna 51% | Lazio 46%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bologna 0.75 xG and Lazio 0.91 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Bologna attack 0.738 / defence 1.100 | Lazio attack 0.693 / defence 0.792. League average goals — home 1.281 / away 1.194. Bologna's attack strength of 0.738 is below the league average — the 0.75 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Lazio's defence strength of 0.792 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 67 Bologna games / 67 Lazio games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bologna 28% | Draw 34% | Lazio 37%. Fair-value odds: Bologna 3.57 | Draw 2.94 | Lazio 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 34% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 23% | BTTS probability 31% | Total xG 1.66. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 77% probability — total xG of 1.66 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 69% — Bologna's lower xG of 0.75 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 31%.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Lazio as the most likely outcome at 37% — marginal model lean. With a 34% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Lazio offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 1.66 combined xG gives a 23% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 1.8 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 31% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Bologna 40% | Lazio 20% BTTS from recent games.
