Bologna vs Venezia looking to bounce back

Bologna are looking to get back to winning ways after their loss to Lazio, while Venezia need points for survival

At the Dall’Ara, Bologna and Venezia will face off on Serie A Enilive Matchday 14 at 20:45 CET.

Italiano’s side lost their second game of the league campaign last week, putting an end to their nine game unbeaten streak, but they will want to get back to winning ways immediately in order to get closer to the european places. The lagunari, however, come off the back of three consecutive defeats against Inter, Parma and Lecce. Their goal is to gain the three points to lift themselves off the bottom of the table.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

After going undefeated for 14 consecutive games (W7 D7) against Venezia in Serie A, Bologna have lost their last two matches and could suffer three defeats in a row against the Veneti for the first time in the competition. Only once in all 13 away matches played on Bologna's pitch in Serie A has Venezia managed to score more than one goal against the Felsinei: in April 1943, when the Laguna team won 2-0 in Emilia-Romagna, thanks to goals from Amedeo Degli Espositi and Lanfranco Alberico.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bologna are one of only four teams - along with Lazio, Fiorentina and Juventus - not to have lost at home yet in Serie A this season (W1 D4); only twice in the three-point-per-win era (since 1994/95) have the Felsineiremained unbeaten in their first six home games in a Serie A championship: in 2002/03 and 2010/11.. Venezia are one of the two teams - along with Roma - not yet to have won an away match in Serie A this season; the Laguna players could go without a win in their first eight away matches of the season for the ninth time in 14 Serie A championships played so far (64% of cases, including the current tournament). Venezia have used more different players born from 2000 onwards than any other side in Serie A this season (16), with only Parma (7540), Juventus (7403) and Hellas Verona (6262) giving more minutes to such players than Venezia (6143).

PLAYERS

Riccardo Orsolini has scored five Serie A goals this season; should he score against Venezia, the Bologna forward could become the first player to score more than five goals in each of the last seven (including this one) Serie A seasons and the fifth in the period in Europe's top five tournaments, after Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah, Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappé. Venezia’s Gaetano Oristanio has been involved in three goals (one goal, two assists) in his last seven league games, as many as in his previous 31 matches combined. He also has the most successful dribbles in Serie A this term (28).
