Bologna vs Venezia prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Bologna host Venezia at the Stadio Renato Dell'Ara in Serie A on Sunday, with both sides in similar form at the moment.

Bologna are currently ninth in the league, six points above their opponents. Sinisa Mihajlovic's side have won their last two league games on the trot and will be looking to extend their streak with a win against Venezia this weekend.

Venezia are also unbeaten in their last two league games and are currently 15th in the league. Paolo Zanetti's side will be going into the game off the back of a 3-2 win against Roma last time out. They will look to replicate that performance in the game against Bologna on Sunday.

Both sides will be heading into the fixture off the back of strong performances last time out, and that should make Sunday's game a well contested matchup.
