Bologna – Hellas Verona betting tip, prediction & odds 30/12/2024

Serie A, Monday, 30/12/2024 at 20:45

On Monday evening, the last Serie A game of 2024 will be played, which, as we all know, will come to an end in just a few days. What better occasion, then, for a sports betting fan to celebrate the new year with the Betano promo code?

Many experts whose opinion I value are backing the hosts for this encounter. However, I am taking a somewhat more conservative approach in my Bologna v Hellas Verona betting tip.

As already mentioned, Bologna and Hellas Verona will face off in this last game of the year, and there are a few things to consider.

Bologna, for example, have had a surprisingly good first half of the season, with a solid record of just two defeats (7 wins, 7 draws).

That is by no means a matter of course when you consider how many key players the club management had to deal with in the summer. 7th place is therefore quite respectable.

Particularly impressive is the fact that the hosts have survived their last four games without defeat, with three wins and a draw.

It is also worth mentioning that they kept three clean sheets in those four matches, which shows that their success is primarily based on solid defensive work.

And after beating Fiorentina 1-0 at Christmas time, they also earned the respect of beating Torino 2-0.

It’s interesting to note that with exactly 28 points – the same number as after 16 games at the same time last season – Bologna know that a place in the top five is still possible this season.

The Bologna players should be feeling confident right now thanks to their record against Hellas Verona. They have not suffered a single setback in their last eight home games against the “Gialloblù” (6 wins, 2 draws).

They are also facing a Hellas Verona team that is currently far from its best and has only won one of its last six league games. With just five points from their last six games, they are clearly fighting for survival.

On top of that, Verona have already suffered 20 defeats in 2024 – a historically poor number for the club, which has now suffered the most defeats in its history within the space of a single calendar year.

The only positive news for Verona is the recent away win against Parma (3-2), but this was more of an exception in an already very difficult season. In the last game against AC Milan, they put up a good fight but still lost narrowly 0-1.

Their defensive problems are evident, as they have already conceded 40 goals, which is the worst defense in the league.

These numbers reflect a number of continuing weaknesses, especially considering that Verona was doing much better at this point in the table last season.

They also have another negative streak to worry about: their last three Monday night games have all ended in defeats. This statistic is unlikely to inspire much hope in Verona fans, especially given the pressure they can expect in this game.

Bologna, on the other hand, will be aiming to end 2024 with another victory and thus further build on their relatively strong points tally.

Their current form and home record make them the favorites of German betting providers in this duel.

If I only went by the risk-return value of each individual offer in verified betting apps, then I would probably opt for a simple draw bet.

Because odds of around 4.10 for a possible 0-0, 1-1 or higher draw have been chosen extremely generously from this point of view.

If Bologna should get the upper hand at all on Monday, then it will probably be in the context of a narrow 1-0 victory; I don’t trust them for more than that. But they could well keep a clean sheet at the back until the final whistle.

“Verona don’t score” at odds of around 1.95 is therefore also an interesting offer that you should at least consider.

After all, the “Gialloblù” were not even able to beat the respective BFC keeper in three competitive games last season (1 draw, 2 defeats).

Conclusion: It smells like a very narrow clean sheet win for the home side. But for a BFC win bet, the odds are just not high enough for me.

In contrast, I consider the prospect of a generally low-scoring game or even a draw to be much more interesting.

In any case, Verona will be able to put up resistance if they play with the same mentality on Monday as in their last Serie A game against Milan.

My Bologna Hellas Verona tip: Under 2.5 goals.
