Preview for the game Bologna vs Hellas Verona
Bologna come into this Serie A Gameweek 28 clash in clearly stronger form, having taken 9 points from their last 5 league matches with three straight wins followed by two defeats. Verona, by contrast, have collected just 1 point from their last 5, losing four of those games and drawing once. The Plus Minus model leans heavily towards the hosts, giving Bologna a 59% chance of victory, with the draw at 25% and Verona at just 16%. Recent head-to-head data also tilts Bologna’s way. They won 3-2 away at Verona in January and 2-1 away in March 2025, while also recording a 2-0 home win in February 2024. Verona’s only success in this run was a 3-2 away victory in December 2024, underlining how often this fixture produces goals and narrow margins. For Bologna, the impact of Lewis Ferguson (GAP +1.9%) between the lines and the penalty-box presence of Santiago Castro (GAP +1.3%) could be key against a Verona side that has struggled to turn performances into points. Verona will look for stability from goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò (GAP -2.7%) and the physical presence of forward Gift Orban (GAP -1.7%) to disrupt Bologna’s rhythm and offer a counter-attacking threat. Injuries and availability Bologna are without an important midfield anchor, as Remo Freuler is suspended for this match, serving a one-game ban that rules him out against Verona. At the back and on the left flank they also have issues: Charalambos Lykogiannis is sidelined with an acute flexor tendinopathy and is only expected back around early March, while Juan Miranda is dealing with a first-degree iliopsoas lesion and is not due to return until mid-March. Central defender Martin Vitík is another concern after a recent head knock and is listed as to be assessed, adding further uncertainty to Bologna’s defensive options. There are no listed injury or suspension concerns for Verona in the current data.

What is GAP?
What is Plus Minus Goals (G±)?
Plus Minus Goals (G±) is the average goal difference per game while the player was on the pitch. A value above 0 indicates that the team rather wins, a value below 0 means his team concedes more goals than they score when the player is on the pitch. As an example, if the player's team is winning 3:1 the goal difference is +2, if the player's team is loosing 0:1, the goal difference is -1. It is a pure metric which is barely adjusted for circumstances to purely show the goal difference.
What is GAP?
GAP (Game Advantage Percentage) shows the percentage gap between a player and the average league player. It answers the question: How much does a player improve or worsen a team's performance? It is based on high level game data with a focus on the impact on the goal difference (G±) from the last 50 games of a player. Besides that, GAP goes further and considers game context by involving data from the player and all other players who are at the same time on the pitch, no matter if teammates or opponents. Football GAP - the individual metric for team players.
