Bologna Vs. Torino Prediction: Rejecting Series Results At Stadio Renato Dall'Ara
JAKARTA - Bologna will try to extend their unbeaten record in Serie A when they host Torino at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Friday night, February 14. Both teams often play draws in early 2025, but this time they are eyeing a full win.
Bologna appeared confident after recording five games without defeat in Serie A, including a win in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Atalanta. However, last week they only drew goalless against Lecce, where goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski saved the team.
Currently, Rossoblu can record seven league matches early in the year without defeat for the first time since 2012. They are in European ticket hunting and are only adrift of AC Milan, Fiorentina, and Juventus.
Bologna have a strong home record, only losing once in Dall'Ara this season. In addition, they won three of the last five meetings against Torino, including a 2-0 win in Turin in December 2024.
On the other hand, Torino is also unbeaten in 2025, despite winning just one win this year. They just drew 1-1 against Genoa, where new signings Cesare Casadei and Cristiano Biraghi made their debuts on the bench.
Torino currently occupies the 11th position and is 10 points behind Bologna. However, Paolo Vanoli's side have a pretty solid, unbeaten away record in the last five away games, although they failed to win in their last eight visits to Dall'Ara.
Bologna received good news with the return of Riccardo Orsolini from a thigh injury. However, Lewis Ferguson and Jens Odgaard are still absent. Orsolini could have a duet with Santiago Castro upfront, while Thijs Dallinga also competed to start.

On the back, Davide Calabria's new recruits will compete with Emil Holm and Lorenzo De Silvestri for the right-back position.
Torino will lose Samuele Ricci due to suspension, so Casadei has the opportunity to make his debut as a starter. Adrien Tameze is also confirmed to be absent due to a muscle injury.
Eljif Elmas and Cristiano Biraghi can appear from the start, while Alieu Njie, Perr Schuurs, and Duvan Zapata are still absent.
Bologna are favorite to win considering their home record and Torino's performance which tend to draw a lot. However, with Torino's strong defense in away matches, this match can go tight.
