Injuries heavily favor Bologna's chances with Verona suffering multiple key absences. Midfielder Al Musrati is suspended after a red card, while defender Serdar remains out with a knee injury. Additional injuries to Belghali, Bernede, and Lirola further weaken Verona's already limited squad depth. Bologna's injury concerns are minimal by comparison, with defender Miranda and left-back Lykogiannis the main absentees. This disparity in available personnel significantly increases Bologna's winning probability in an already favorable matchup.
