BOLOGNA v PALERMO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a bottom of the table clash with both sides at the wrong end of the league after 12 matches. The fixture brings together a home side in the bottom two and opponents who are gradually rising up the standings but are still in the bottom half. Bologna are five places and three points below their opponents at the weekend. Bologna have not won any of their last five matches while Palermo have won once in the same number of games. Matches involving these sides have produced 58 goals at an average of slightly more than 2.5 goals per game. The average is closer to three when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Bologna also had a relatively decent result in their last home match, a draw against Udinese. They had just 41% of the possession which was used effectively to create as many clear scoring chances as their opponents. Bologna lost at Torino last weekend and despite having 53% of possession did not manage one shot on target and were outscored in the corner count. Palermo lost away at Roma, despite having 55% of the possession. They had just four shots on target and scored one goal. In that match Palermo were not effective in converting use of the ball into goal scoring opportunities. As the home team Bologna should dominate possession but may not create enough chances to win the game.

BOLOGNA - PALERMO PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Only Sampdoria have won fewer points at home than Bologna and they are bottom of the league. The hosts have taken maximum points from just one of five matches played at home this season to date. Two losses have been partially offset by two draws and a win, though they are on a run of five matches without a win. Palermo have the second worst away record in the league and they are yet to win on the road after five away matches. Four defeats have been offset by two draws but still Palermo do not travel well. Their excellent home record has compensated for a poor run away from home and beating Bologna may be beyond them. Consequently a draw is the most likely outcome of this match.

Back the draw at 3.2 with Betsson.

BOLOGNA - PALERMO PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Palermo are poor travellers but on this occasion they can avoid defeat against a Bologna side struggling to win at home. This looks like being a tight game and correct score bettors may consider 0-0 or 1-1. In any case Palermo should be able to cover a handicap of half a goal start.

BOLOGNA - PALERMO PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Bologna’s five home matches have produced 16 goals with as many scored as conceded. However, Palermo have scored just twice away from home and their matches away average exactly two goals per game. This fixture brings together two sides struggling to score goals and the final tally of less than three should be backed.
