Prediction Bologna vs Como 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Serie A on 30/08/2025

Preview: Stadio Renato Dall'Ara set for a lively encounter

Bologna welcome Como to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on 30 August 2025 in what promises to be an intriguing Serie A clash. The hosts arrive still smarting from a 1-0 defeat at Roma in last weekend’s opener and sit 16th in the early table with no points to show after one game. There is a tangible sense of urgency around Bologna — their recent reports show mixed results through the tail end of the previous campaign and into pre-season, a sequence that has left questions over defensive solidity and creative consistency. Daniele Doveri will take the whistle for this Round 2 fixture at a ground that can hold just over 36,500 fans, and home advantage will be vital for the Rossoblù if they are to arrest a wobbly domestic start.

Form guide and key match dynamics

Como travel to Bologna buoyed by confidence. The visitors sit third in the table after a 2-0 opening-day victory against Lazio and arrive on a rich vein of form — seven wins, one draw and two losses in their last ten outings. Como’s offensive numbers in the provided data underline a team that looks comfortable going forward: a high shots count, six on target from 19 total, a strong attacks average and an encouraging dangerous-attacks metric. Nico Paz stood out as Como’s best performer in the Lazio win with a remarkable 9.09 rating, a figure that highlights the creative spark the visitors possess.

Bologna’s attacking and defensive indicators tell a different story. Lower shot volumes and a solitary goal conceded in their season opener suggest they have been quieter in the final third and vulnerable at the back. Their recent match logs, peppered with losses, underline inconsistency that could be exploited by a free-flowing Como side. Head-to-head memory from February shows Bologna won 2-0, but the momentum and statistics heading into this fixture tip the balance in favour of the visitors.

Odds, outlook and tactical angle

Bookmakers list Bologna as slight favourites with odds around 2.42, while Como are available at 3.00 and the draw near 3.10. Those numbers reflect a tight contest on paper, yet the underlying form and shot metrics give Como a practical edge. Expect Como to press, create more chances and look to capitalise on transitional moments; Bologna will need to be compact and clinical on the rare opportunities they fashion.

Betting suggestion: Back Como to win (1x2 market). Given Como’s superior recent form, higher shot volume and attacking threat — plus a convincing 2-0 opening-day victory and an outstanding individual display from Nico Paz — the away win offers value against a Bologna side that has struggled for consistency and goals in recent results.
