Venezia vs Bologna

Riccardo Orsolini, six goals in this championship, became the first player to score more than five goals in each of the last seven seasons (from 2018/19 to the current season) of Serie A and the fifth, in the period, in the Big-5 European leagues, after Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah, Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappé.

Riccardo Orsolini has scored in two home games in a row in Serie A for the first time since last February (vs Lecce and Fiorentina); he also both scored and provided an assist in a single match of the competition for the first time since 20 May 2023 (vs Cremonese).

Bologna have won two home games in a row, without conceding a goal in Serie A, for the first time since last February (three in that case).

After going undefeated for 14 consecutive games (W7 D7) against Venezia in Serie A, Bologna have lost their last two matches and could suffer three defeats in a row against the Veneti for the first time in the competition.

Only once in all 13 away matches played on Bologna's pitch in Serie A has Venezia managed to score more than one goal against the Felsinei: in April 1943, when the Laguna team won 2-0 in Emilia-Romagna, thanks to goals from Amedeo Degli Espositi and Lanfranco Alberico.

Bologna lost their last league match against Lazio; Bologna are only one of three teams, among those who have taken part in the last two Serie A tournaments, to have never lost two consecutive matches in the period (since 2023/24), along with Inter and AC Milan.

Bologna are one of only four teams - along with Lazio, Fiorentina and Juventus - not to have lost at home yet in Serie A this season (W1 D4); only twice in the three-point-per-win era (since 1994/95) have the Felsinei remained unbeaten in their first six home games in a Serie A championship: in 2002/03 and 2010/11..

Venezia are one of the two teams - along with Roma - not yet to have won an away match in Serie A this season; the Laguna players could go without a win in their first eight away matches of the season for the ninth time in 14 Serie A championships played so far (64% of cases, including the current tournament).
