Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Both clubs sit on a mixed run of form – Bologna unbeaten in four of their last five, Lazio recovering from two defeats – making the opening Serie A clash a test of offensive consistency.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score - Yes Lost Solid lean Solid · BTTS edge

Back both sides to score, as the model assigns a 54.9% probability of at least one goal for each team.

Show the maths

The model gives Bologna and Lazio identical expected goals of 1.35, meaning each side is projected to score roughly one and a third goals on average. Converting those xG figures into a joint probability yields a 54.9% chance that both teams will surpass zero goals. The draw probability (25.8%) is lower than the combined win odds (37.1% each), reinforcing the view that a goal on each side is the most likely outcome.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Bologna averaging 1.35 expected goals and Lazio averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Bologna 1.35, Lazio 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Bologna 1.35 + Lazio 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Bologna 1.35 + Lazio 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Bologna at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Lazio at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Bologna

DWWD

Bologna’s form includes a 3‑2 away win over Napoli and a 1‑0 away victory at Atalanta, demonstrating they can score multiple goals and keep a clean sheet. Their 3‑3 home draw with Inter shows they also concede, but the recent wins highlight a forward momentum that supports a BTTS outcome.

Lazio

LLW

Lazio rebounded with a 2‑1 home win over Pisa after two defeats (0‑3 to Inter and 0‑2 to Roma), indicating an ability to break a scoring drought. The win proves they can find the net even when under pressure, bolstering the case for both sides to score.

Head-to-Head

Recent meetings have produced two draws (1‑1 on 2026‑02‑11 and 1‑1 on 2025‑12‑07) and a 0‑2 win for Lazio, showing a tendency for both teams to hit the net, which aligns with the BTTS pick.
