Comments and predictions for Venezia vs Bologna: A bitter ending for the away team

Latest information on Venezia vs Bologna forces

While Venezia will welcome back John Yeboah from suspension, they will be without midfield mainstay Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who has been handed a one-match ban. The hosts are also still without their first-choice goalkeeper.

Filip Stankovic – who is on loan from Inter Milan – continues to be absent with a knee injury, along with Richie Sagrado, Marin Sverko and Michael Svoboda, so Ionut Radu will continue to start.

Since making his Serie A debut this season at the start of February, Radu has conceded just four goals and kept three clean sheets in six starts. During that time, he has made the most saves in Serie A with 26 in total.

In attack, declining names like Yeboah, Mirko Maric, Daniel Fila, Christian Gytkjaer and Gaetano Oristanio will compete for a starting position for the next match.

On Bologna's side, they will be without key striker Santiago Castro - a player who has just been called up to the Argentina national team for the first time - due to suspension.

Thijs Dallinga is likely to be given the chance to replace him, with support from names with speed and technique such as Dan Ndoye, Jens Odgaard and main striker Riccardo Orsolini - who has just reached the double-digit scoring mark in Serie A for three consecutive seasons.

Ahead of Tuesday's Coppa Italia semi-final, coach Vincenzo Italiano has a number of personnel issues to consider across the board, but the good news is that no players were injured in the 5-0 win over Lazio.

Latest expected lineup for Venezia vs Bologna

Venice:
Radu; Schingtienne, Izdes, Cande; Zerbin, Doumbia, Duncan, Perez, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Maric

Bologna:
Skorupski; De Silvestri, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Ferguson; Orsolini, Odgaard, Ndoye; Dallinga

Latest football commentary on Venezia vs Bologna

Although Venezia fought valiantly to hold title-chasing Napoli to a draw in their last game, thanks largely to the brilliance of reserve goalkeeper Ionut Radu, they remain stuck in the relegation zone as the season enters its final stages.

Since parting ways with former captain Joel Pohjanpalo, Venezia have been without a true striker, scoring just once in their last six games, failing to win a single game and drawing four straight games.

After winning promotion through the Serie B play-offs last season, coach Eusebio Di Francesco's team are struggling to stay in Serie A. They have not won a match since defeating Cagliari last December.

As a result, Venezia are now second from bottom in the table, five points adrift of safety in 17th place and with just nine games left to turn things around.

After three consecutive home games without a goal – against Roma, Lazio and Napoli – Venezia will face another tough fixture when they host Bologna at Stadio Penzo.

Venezia lost the first leg 3-0 in Emilia-Romagna. A similar result in the return leg could deal a heavy blow to their hopes of staying up in the league next May.

Last November's win at Stadio Dall'Ara saw Dan Ndoye score twice for Bologna, and the Swiss winger was on target again in the most recent round of fixtures.

Bologna produced a blistering second-half display to thrash Lazio – a direct rival in the race for the top four – 5-0, with four other players getting on the scoresheet alongside Ndoye.

In 2025 alone, Bologna scored 24 goals in Serie A – at least four more than any other team. This attacking prowess has helped them relive their dream of qualifying for the Champions League.

After stopping at the group stage this season, the Emilian team is determined to win a place in Europe's most prestigious tournament next season, and they are currently on the right track.

In a context where many big teams are playing below expectations, coach Vincenzo Italiano's team has risen to fourth place in the rankings, with a series of four consecutive wins - the first time this has been done in the past year.

Not only do they have a chance to finish in Serie A's top five for two consecutive seasons – something that hasn't happened since the golden age of the mid-1960s – Bologna could also end the season in a memorable way.

With the Coppa Italia semi-final against struggling Empoli set to take place next month, Felsinei fans can expect a successful season in terms of both achievements and trophies.
