BOLOGNA - CATANIA PREDICTION STATS

Bologna P5 W1 D1 L3 Pts 4 GF5 GA9 GD-4 - Average goals per game:2.80
Catania P5 W2 D2 L1 Pts 8 GF7 GA7 GD+1 - Average goals per game:2.80

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Bologna have had an ok start but will be dissappointed with their paltry return of points. The team has showed they are a capable side but will need to be more clinical. The midweek defeat at Siena, was a particularly frustrating one as Bologna battered their hosts for 90 minutes and then lose out to a last minute winner.
Catania sit on a point more than the hosts but one must look at their results closely to see they have had a lot of difficult matches. To only have one defeat when playing games at Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli is a decent return. Coach Rolando Maran confirms they have no injury concerns.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

3.25 The Draw (Pinnacle) looks a good bet between two solid sides who will battle it out. This is a very evenly matched game and although you can make a case for both sides to take the three points I thing the draw price should be a lot shorter here. Catania are the better side but Bologna at home have the capability to take a point.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Catania 2.32 (Pinnacle) 0 Handicap looks a decent bet for a side who are being respected by the bookmakers and pitched in at such a short price. Catania have had a tough start to the season but are on a high after severel excellent results and also performances. The draw no bet offers value here and 2.32 is a good price.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 goals 1.75 (188bet) Seems a nailed on bet here between two ultra conservative sides. Both sides will try and keep it tight and a point may be shared between two middling teams. Catanis's stats are slighty skewered due to the high level off opponent so the average will come down over time.
