Serie A Friday nights to deliver again

Hellas Verona host Bologna on Friday evening off the back of an excellent 4-2 win over Sassuolo at the weekend.

Hellas are a team in the ascendency who have epitomised the entertaining nature of Serie A football this season.

They sit in 10th compared to Bologna in 12th and with home advantage on top of that it is no surprise to see Hellas strong favourites at just above evens.

The Red and Blues have actually slowed up at the top of the pitch compared to recent seasons and will probably be seeing a draw as a positive result ahead of their trip to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

Process

The Yellow and Blues edge it on the data as well leaning towards why the market has taken the stance it has.

Hellas continue to defy expected goals (xG) and we wait patiently to see when a bit of negative variance starts to occur with their finishing.

However, with how open they have been at the back, conceding nine of their last ten games, a goals angle throws itself into the mix for consideration once again in this encounter.

The visitors are significantly less potent in front of goal and also in their chance creation, averaging 1.2 xGF per game compared to 1.4 for the hosts.

Bologna have not been involved in as many goal-laiden games as Hellas this term and it will be interesting to see if they are dragged into the hectic nature of the Yellow and Blues’ matches on Friday evening.

Goals?

There does seem to be a crumb of value in an overs play for this encounter, however the outright markets are also providing a bit of juice that I am looking to get onside to enhance the odds on offer.

• Hellas have scored in eight of ten.
• Hellas have conceded in nine of ten.
• Hellas have seen both teams score in eight of ten.
• Hellas have seen over 2.5 goals in seven of ten.
• Bologna have scored in seven of ten.
• Bologna have conceded in seven of ten.
• Bologna have seen both teams score in four of ten.
• Bologna have seen over 2.5 goals in five of ten.

The stage is set for another epic evening of Serie A entertainment.

A push into European contention is not off the cards yet for the Yellow and Blues with Bologna looking to make some inroads on pursuing a top half finish.
