Venezia vs Bologna

Serie A leaders Bologna will face Venezia at Stadio Penzo during their matchup on Saturday.

The Rossoblu are coming to play at Stadio Penzo after achieving four consecutive victories but their hosts who face relegation have produced four consecutive tie results.

Venezia prevented Napoli from claiming full points against them in their previous match through Ionut Radu's remarkable goalkeeping but remained in last position despite their brave effort with time running out in the season.

Since Joel Pohjanpalo left the club the Lagunari lost their starting striker position which impacted their scoring ability because they managed to score once in their last six league matches while going winless and achieving four consecutive draws.

Since defeating Cagliari in December Eusebio Di Francesco's squad has not accomplished any victories and their Serie B playoff victory from last season has prevented their relegation.

Venezia occupies second-to-last spot in Serie A with a five-point deficit to the twenty-seventh position but only nine games remain.

The Arancioneroverdi must maintain their difficult home schedule as they welcomed Bologna at Stadio Penzo while securing no goals during their last three home encounters with Roma and Lazio and Napoli.

The 3-0 victory the Venice team suffered at Bologna during Emilia-Romagna showcases a dangerous outcome for their defensive battle in May's attempt to stay away from relegation.

Bologna clinched the November home match at Stadio Dall'Ara by scoring twice through Dan Ndoye before repeating his scoring form to maintain their recent upbeat streak.

In the second half the Rossoblu team scored five times to defeat Lazio by 5-0 as the squad destroyed fellow championship challengers.

Bologna has scored 24 Serie A goals in 2025, at least four more than any other side this year, and such firepower has rekindled their hopes of returning to the Champions League.
After exiting the league phase this season, the Emilian team is eager to secure a berth in next season's competition, and they are presently on track to achieve so.

With numerous prominent clubs unable to meet expectations, Vincenzo Italiano's men are currently fourth in the league, having won four straight games for the first time in a year.

Bologna might finish in Italy's top five in consecutive seasons for the first time since their golden heyday in the mid-1960s, and they still have a chance to win some silverware.

Fans of the Felsinei may have a spectacular campaign finale when they watch the team play Serie A strugglers Empoli in a two-leg Coppa Italia semi-final next month.
