It is not only tough for Bologna to beat Lazio, it is essentially tough for any team especially when they play at home. They are doing very well for weeks now, concede hardly any goals and they score in the right moments to kill off their opponents. This was a pretty safe bet and Bologna isn't quite on the same level they used to be last season.
This team is playing quite well and consistently, they are surprisingly unbeaten in their last 8 matches in serie A, and managed to sweep four wins in the UEFA Europa League, so maybe Lazio is the best choice for this week.
The final score was 3-0 and Lazio managed to record a winning streak which is a pretty good record so far. Indeed, the tempo of the game was very advantageous for Lazio because they managed to take advantage of the advantage in the number of players to be able to beat Bologna. Of course, the advantage in the number of players made Lazio freely attack Bologna and they were able to break the deadlock in the 68th minute and Zaccagni was able to double the advantage to 2-0 through the goal he scored in the 72nd minute.
Lazio was not satisfied with winning 2-0 because they continued to build attacks and continued to tear apart Bologna's defense until finally Lazio was able to add another goal in the final minutes of the match. The score of 3-0 was the final result in this match. Of course, the additional 3 points made Lazio equal the points with Atalanta, Inter Milan and Fiorentina. I think the competition will be even fiercer in the coming week, because this week 4 teams got the same points as we see in the standings table.
They want to feel satisfied in this match, so they continue to attack in the final minutes. Because, with the tight competition at the top of the standings, the club not only needs a lot of points, but also the number of goals. Currently, Lazio is competing tightly with other teams, namely Atalanta in second place, Inter in third place, and Fiorentina in fourth place. The reason is, the four teams have the same number of points, namely 28 points, and only the goal difference distinguishes the positions of the four teams.
On the other hand, Napoli who is at the top is actually not completely safe, because they are only one point ahead with 29 points. So in the near future if Napoli fails to get a win or gets a draw, its position could be shifted by the 4 teams below it.
