We’re of the opinion that Lazio will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Bologna will not find it easy to get shooting opportunities although we do reckon that they could well end up scoring here as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 victory for Lazio come full-time.
