Bologna vs Torino prediction 14.02.2025 | Serie A

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Friday, 14th February, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)

Bologna came to this season after a great one when they finished fifth and secured the Champions League. However, due to a terrible start of the season in that competition, "The Rossoblù" failed to reach the next phase, finishing 28th with six points from eight rounds. In the Serie A, they also had a poor start but are getting better as the season progresses. They are now 8th with 38 points from 23 matches - four points away from European spots. They are doing well in the Copa Italia as well, reaching the semi-finals after beating Atalanta in the last round! Right now, the Rossoblù are on a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions and have every reason to be optimistic about their chances of reaching Europe.

Torino are playing their 13th consecutive season in the Italian top-flight division, where they were mostly a mid-table team. This season, they are on pace for another mid-table finish. Right now, they are in 11th place with 28 points from 24 matches. Considering they are 14 points away from the European spots and eight points away from the relegation zone, we do not think they will drastically move up or down in the remainder of the season.

Bologna vs Torino pick: Under 2.5 goals

Bologna has been really good defensively in recent matches, keeping a clean sheet in the last three games. Primarily because of a good defense, they were under 2.5 goals in the previous five games in all competitions.

Torino are the best team in the league for this type of bet, with 71% of their Serie A games finished with under 2.5 goals (17 out of 24). With 25 scored goals in 24 games (1.04 per game), they are among the worst teams in the league in that department, but a good defense keeps them pretty high on the league's table. Moreover, in the last six games, they scored one or zero goals on five occasions.

In the first h2h game, Bologna won 2:0. Also, the last four h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering the previous h2h games, both teams' good defensive performances, and all the above, we strongly believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest bet for this Serie A game.
