- Competition: Serie A
- Date: 30th December 2024
- Kick-off: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Renato Dall'Ara
Hellas Verona will be looking to record back to back away wins for the first time this season when they face Bologna at Renato Dall'Ara on Monday evening.
Bologna are just three points off the top six, while the visitors are separated from the relegation zone by just one point.
The hosts bring a run of four consecutive games without defeat into Monday's clash with Hellas Verona. Vincenzo Italiano's side kept five clean sheets and won three of their four Serie A games during that period. That run has taken the Red and Blues to within three points of sixth-placed Juventus and, having won each of their last three home games, they will be fancying their chances of beating Verona on Monday.
Hellas Verona meanwhile have found themselves on the losing side of things more often than not in recent weeks. They hosted Milan last Friday, hoping to turn around after losing their previous two home games 9-1. Paolo Zanetti's side suffered a fifth defeat in six matches and also failed to score for the third time in five matches.
Bologna vs Hellas Verona Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
When it comes to defending, Bologna have given their 100% lately, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three outings and I fancy them to extend that run this weekend. All three games ended with under 2.5 goals.
Hellas Verona are also struggling offensively at the moment. The visitors failed to find the back of the net in three of their last five matches and also remained scoreless in their last two meetings with Bologna in Serie A.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Bologna vs Hellas Verona prediction: 2-0

Bologna team news
Nicolò Cambiaghi will once again be unavailable to Bologna head coach Vincenzo Italiano on Monday due to injury.
Cambiaghi is nursing a cruciate ligament injury that will keep him out until March next year and the midfielder is not the hosts’ only injury concern.
Oussama El Azzouzi and Michel Aebischer are also ruled out of Monday’s game with adductor and muscle injuries, respectively.
