Torino take on the visitors Bologna in the round 35 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, April 3rd at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino reaffirms its status as a solid mid-table team in the Serie A season after season, and this season is no exception. Ivan Juric's team is currently positioned in the tenth spot in the table, not contending for any high places but also never being among the relegation candidates. The Bulls have long lost any tournament motivation and are simply playing out the season without the pressure of results. Regarding victories, they've only managed two in the last 15 matches. Moreover, in the last four consecutive league matches, the Grenades have been unable to secure a win: they lost away to Inter (0-2) and Empoli (2-3), and drew goalless at home against both Juventus and Frosinone.

The Champions League is within reach, but it's still too early to congratulate Thiago Motta's team. Perhaps, after this round, we will. With three rounds to go in the championship, Bologna holds a four-point advantage over Atalanta in the table. Losing now in Turin would turn the calm end to Serie A into a turbulent one. I don't think Bologna will lose to Torino. The team plays for results superbly, and if they can't secure a victory somewhere, they at least ensure matches end in draws. In the last 14 league matches, the Red and Blues have suffered only one defeat - against Inter. After that, Bologna embarked on an unbeaten streak of six consecutive matches, which they could extend until the end of the championship.
Torino and Bologna statistically rank in the top three of the Serie A this season in terms of low-scoring matches. On average, there are about 2.2 goals per match involving the away team and only 1.8 goals per match involving the home team. I believe that the head-to-head encounter between the Bulls and the Red and Blues will not produce more than three goals. In addition to the under 3.5 bet, I'll also add a double chance for Bologna and under 3.5 goals. Unlike their opponent, Bologna are still motivated for the remainder of the championship. The home advantage hasn't been particularly helpful for Torino lately - they've only secured one victory in their last five home matches. Meanwhile, in the last five away matches in the championship, Bologna have earned 13 out of 15 possible points. My prediction is X2 + Under 3.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Bologna not to lose (X2) and Under 3.5 scored goals.
