Bologna take on the visitors Verona in the round 2 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, August 21st at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Bologna remains a reference example of a "coaching team". “Rossoblue” now cannot boast of either a strong financial basis or a stellar squad (although not for nothing that Manchester United at one time seriously considered signing Marko Arnautovic). The main trump card of this team is the personality of the coach. Sinisa Mihajlovic is forced to be distracted by the fight against his illness, but from year to year he consistently takes enough points with his wards to ensure the next "survival" in Serie A. In the 2021/2022 draw, 46 points were taken - one and a half times more than the best of the three departed. Yes, and the new season began, albeit with a defeat, but a worthy one. Lazio were outperformed in Rome until De Silvestri's own goal in the 68th minute, however, it all ended 2-1 in favor of the Eagles.

Verona again was forced to change mentor. The Mastiffs got rid of their well-deserved reputation as a "football elevator" when they made a bet on Yurich. But Ivan left in 2021, and he did not immediately manage to find a full-fledged replacement. Ironically, it was another 1 Croat, Tudor. But Igor, having finished with his wards in a comfortable 9th place, went to the more ambitious Marseille. Cioffi was called to the vacant post, who showed himself well as "interim" in Udinese. Gabriele's debut turned out to be unsuccessful. First it was 1-4 in the cup with Bari, and then, a week ago, in the 1st round of the new Serie A, it was about the same: 2-5 at home. True, there is an important caveat in the fact that the powerful Napoli Luciano Spalletti smashed Hellas. But, of course, the new mentor should cling to the result.
Bologna had not lost a head-to-head since 2016, for 8 fights in a row. But in January, Verona was finally able to put an end to this unpleasant series for herself, winning 2-1 at home. And that was due to the goal of Nikola Kalinic in the 85th minute. Bologna is seen as the favourite. But Verona also badly needs positive emotions. So we bet on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
