Main Betting prediction — Bologna Win (Draw No Bet)
Rationale: Although Bologna arrive with a mixed run of form, and indeed recorded a recent 0:1 home defeat to Parma, they demonstrate a favourable head-to-head record against Lazio in recent seasons (three victories in the last five meetings). Playing at the Renato Dall’Ara confers a tangible home advantage; Vincenzo Italiano’s side are structurally organised and have shown an ability to exploit direct attacking moments against Lazio’s sometimes-cautious defensive approach. Lazio under Maurizio Sarri, while generally compact and tactically sophisticated, have produced more draws than victories in their last five outings and may be vulnerable to a committed Bologna performance in a one-off cup tie where motivation and match rhythm can be decisive. Given the combination of home advantage, historical edge and the knockout context favouring an assertive Bologna approach, the selection of a Bologna Win (Draw No Bet) is justified. Best odds available for this market: Bologna Win (Draw No Bet) at Paripesa with odd 1.47.

2nd betting prediction – Both teams score? Yes
Rationale: Both sides possess attacking capabilities sufficient to threaten the opposition goal. Lazio have displayed a propensity to score in recent matches, and their encounters with Bologna historically produced goals at both ends — the most recent direct meeting concluded 1:1. Bologna, despite recent defensive lapses, regularly create clear opportunities and can convert chances, particularly on home turf. Moreover, cup fixtures between evenly matched teams often open up as each side seeks to avoid the lottery of extra time and penalties, encouraging forward play and leaving spaces for counter-attacks. Given these considerations and the attacking tendencies of both managers’ squads, the “Both teams to score — Yes” option represents a plausible outcome. Best odds available for this market: YES at Paripesa with odd 2.05.
3rd betting prediction – Over 2.5 Goals
Rationale: The combination of Bologna’s willingness to press and commit players forward under Vincenzo Italiano and Lazio’s proactive, possession-oriented yet occasionally vulnerable defensive phase under Maurizio Sarri suggests a match that can yield multiple goals. Recent meetings and the clubs’ current tendencies point to open phases where transitions are likely, increasing the probability of more than 2.5 goals. Additionally, the knockout context may incentivize both teams to adopt a risk-tolerant approach rather than sit back for a narrow draw, particularly if either side concedes early and must chase the game. For bettors seeking a goals-based market, Over 2.5 is a logical selection. Best odds available for this market: Over 2.5 goals (2.43 on Paripesa).

Statistics for Bologna FC vs Lazio
Bologna FC team news!
Manager: Vincenzo Italiano
Bologna come into this Coppa Italia meeting having registered, in their last five matches across all competitions, one win, one draw and three defeats. The current form indicates inconsistency, but the club’s successes in the recent head-to-head series against Lazio provide confidence. Under Vincenzo Italiano, the team tends to be organised defensively while seeking to exploit width and quick transitions; match selection for the cup tie will likely reflect a balance between rotation and the desire to secure progression. Availability, injuries and tactical adjustments remain key variables, but the manager’s experience and tactical flexibility suggest a competitive approach at Renato Dall’Ara.
Lazio team news!
Manager: Maurizio Sarri
Manager Maurizio Sarri has guided Lazio to a steadier sequence in their last five games: two wins, two draws and a single defeat. Lazio’s style under Sarri emphasizes structured possession and intricate build-up play, though that approach occasionally yields defensive exposure on the counter. Their recent 2:2 away draw with Juventus demonstrates both their goal-scoring potential and susceptibility to conceding. Squad rotation is plausible for a cup tie, yet Sarri is unlikely to entirely abandon his tactical principles. Lazio’s recent form suggests they are competitive and difficult to beat, but in a knockout setting they must resolve defensive lapses to advance.

H2H statistics
Across the last five meetings in all competitions the head-to-head record reads: Bologna FC 3 wins, 1 draw, Lazio Rom 1 win. The most recent direct encounter concluded as a 1:1 draw. This sequence indicates that while Lazio are a strong opponent, Bologna have had the upper hand in recent fixtures between the clubs.
Last results Bologna FC
In their last five matches across all competitions, Bologna have recorded one win, one draw and three defeats. The current form is therefore mixed and leans toward inconsistency, with the recent home loss to Parma highlighting areas for improvement, particularly in defensive concentration and game management.
Last results Lazio
Lazio’s last five matches across all competitions have produced two wins, two draws and one defeat. The form suggests relative stability and resilience; the aforementioned 2:2 draw at Juventus exemplifies Lazio’s attacking capacity but also underscores defensive vulnerabilities that can be exploited by incisive opponents.

Conclusion
This Coppa Italia fixture presents a compelling tactical duel between Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna and Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio. While Lazio arrive in steadier recent form, Bologna’s advantage in the recent head-to-head and the intrinsic benefit of playing at the Renato Dall’Ara tilt the balance in favour of a home victory in this knockout tie. Our principal selection is therefore a Bologna FC win (DNB), supported by the additional predictions that both teams will score and that the match will produce over 2.5 goals. Given the tactical profiles, historical results and the stakes of a cup fixture, a proactive Bologna performance capable of securing progression, while conceding at least once, appears to be the most coherent forecast.
