Hellas Verona will aim to end a poor seven-match winless run when Bologna visit Marcantonio Bentegodi on Monday night.

Verona have slipped to tenth in the Serie A table and now sit just three points ahead of eleventh-place Bologna.

Verona’s winless run began with four straight defeats last month, with losses coming against Lazio, Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

Granted, they have avoided defeat in each of their previous three games, although they have only managed to pick up three draws in that time.

To make matters worse for Hellas Verona, they have won just one of their previous 11 Serie A games (three draws, seven defeats).

On a brighter note, it is worth pointing out that only the two five teams in the division have better defensive records to Verona.

However, they are the lowest scorers in the top half, having netted just 43 goals in 36 matches this term.

Meanwhile, Bologna suffered a 2-0 defeat to Genoa last time out, meaning they have failed to win any of their last five matches.

Having registered three draws and two losses in that time, the club has slipped into the bottom half of the table.

Looking at the bigger picture, Bologna have only managed to win one of their previous eight Serie A matches – recording three draws and four losses along the way.

Bologna enjoyed a run of just three defeats in 13 matches between December and February, leading some people to believe that they could challenge for a European place.

However, their form has taken a turn for worse since March and they now look set for a bottom-half finish.

Head-to-head: Let’s not forget that Bologna claimed a 1-0 victory over Verona in the reverse fixture back in January.

Bologna haven’t lost any of their last six meetings with Verona, picking up four wins and two draws in the process.

Team news: Verona are currently without injured quartet Marco Benassi, Ronaldo Vieira, Miguel Veloso and Destiny Udogie.

Bologna also have four players on the treatment table at the moment – Federico Santander, Aaron Hickey, Gary Medel and Nicolas Dominguez.

This is likely to be a closely-fought battle between two evenly-matched mid-table side, so a low-scoring draw is expected.

Forebet predicts that both teams will score. However, the points are likely to be shared at Marcantonio Bentegodi.
