Bologna 13/20 to beat Benevento in Sunday’s Serie A battle

Competition: Serie A

Market: Bologna to beat Benevento

Odds: 13/20 @ Bet365

Serie A finally returns this weekend for yet another huge round of games in Italy’s top league. The table has remained incredibly tight this season which means that a win can quite often see a team jump up a number of places, seeing them away from the relegation zone or into a European spot. With all of this in mind, Bologna host Benevento in Sunday’s clash.

Bologna have been in fairly good form this season, but they need to continue this to keep the relegation zone away. After 20 games they have won seven, drawn three and lost 10 times, scoring 23 goals and conceding 30 times. In their last five they have only won once, losing the other four games, which has seen them onto 24 points for the season so far. The nine-point gap they have between themselves and the relegation zone is a decent buffer, but they need to bounce back from their poor run of form with a win, and quickly.

Benevento have been in awful form this season but they have been threatening to turn their tough run around in recent weeks. After 20 games they have won twice, drawn once and lost 17 times, scoring 13 goals and conceding 43 times. In their last five games they have lost three and won two, with both of their wins coming in their last two games, meaning they are actually in fairly good form.
