Bologna will host Hellas Verona at the Renato Dall’Ara on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. After a difficult start to the year that saw them slip into mid-table, the home side have finally turned a corner and have begun a late push for the European qualification spots.

Fresh off a 2-0 aggregate victory over Brann that saw them book a spot in the UEFA Europa League last 16, Bologna returned to league action on Monday, traveling to Tuscany to face Pisa. The Rossoblù looked set to settle for a point in a cagey contest that produced few clear-cut chances at either end before substitute Jens Odgaard scored a stunning goal in the 90th minute to secure a 1-0 victory.

Hellas Verona, meanwhile, are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table, with interim boss Paolo Sammarco yet to find a way to stop the rut.

The Gialloblù welcomed Napoli to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi and looked set for a shock result after Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro netted a brilliant leveler to cancel out the champions’ early opener. However, they ultimately came undone, conceding in the 96th minute to lose 2-1.

Bologna vs Hellas Verona Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• There have been 70 meetings between the two teams, with Bologna winning 29 of those encounters and Verona claiming victory 16 times, while their remaining 25 matchups have ended in draws.
• Bologna have won four of their last five games in this fixture.
• Verona hold the joint-second-worst attacking and worst defensive records in the Italian top flight this term, having scored just 20 goals and conceded 48 in 27 games.
• Bologna have kept clean sheets in each of their last four matches after managing just one in their previous 21.

Bologna vs Hellas Verona Prediction

The Rossoblù are comfortable favorites heading into the weekend clash, having recorded five straight wins across all competitions. They have faced difficulties at home this season, but should only need to avoid complacency to secure maximum points on Sunday.

The Gialloblù, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s fixture on a wretched 12-game winless streak and will need something special to pick up a result against a resurgent Bologna side.

Prediction: Bologna 1-0 Hellas Verona
