Bologna vs Como: Serie A Prediction (30.08.2025)

On Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 18:30 CEST, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Bologna FC will face Como in the second round of the Italian Serie A. Bookmakers consider the opponents to be roughly equal in strength. Let’s review the current form of both sides and provide our prediction.

Bologna

The “red-blues” began the new season with a narrow 0:1 defeat to Roma. During the match, they tried to fight back—holding 49% possession and taking 10 shots—but failed to seriously trouble the opponent’s goalkeeper. The only goal was conceded early in the second half, after which Bologna played catch-up.

For Thiago Motta, this is a worrying sign: after summer departures of key attackers, the team’s offense looks heavy and struggles to find rhythm. Still, pragmatic style and discipline helped Bologna win the Coppa Italia last season, and perhaps they will again rely on efficiency in key moments.

Como

Last season, Como became one of the brightest Serie A newcomers in years. This year, they started strongly again. In the opening round, they beat Lazio 2:0, their first Serie A opening-day victory since 1951. The club invested more than €75 million in the squad this summer and secured Álvaro Morata on loan, boosting their attack. Already, Como shows they don’t intend to be just passengers in Serie A: against Lazio, they controlled the game confidently and used chances effectively. For many opponents, facing the “Larians” will be a serious test.

Head-to-head statistics

Last season, the teams met twice. The first match ended 2:2, but by mid-season Bologna found form and secured a confident 2:0 home victory in the return game.

Prediction

In Bologna vs Como, the prediction leans toward a high-scoring encounter. Both teams possess good attacking potential, increasing the chance of goals on both ends. Bet on over 2 goals at Odds 1.56.
