Bologna desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 17 at 6:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Lazio come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Bologna travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Lazio and Bologna have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Bologna won 0–1.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Lazio clear favorites, but Bologna have shown they can grind out results. Expect Lazio to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
