Bologna vs. Lazio Lineups, Preview

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Emmanuel Mendez | Last updated Aug 24, 2026 11:10 AM ET

Bologna and Lazio start their 2026-27 Serie A season against each other at Bologna’s Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Bologna will play its first game of the season while Lazio will play its second after playing in the Coppa Italia last week.

Lazio started the season poorly as they were knocked out of the competition in the Round of 64 to Serie B side Mantova. Lazio lost 2-0 at home to Mantova and will only play in the Serie A for the rest of the season.

Bologna finished its pre-season last weekend when they took on Premier League side Brighton away at the American Express Stadium.

Bologna lost 1-0 to Brighton and it was their second loss of the pre-season this summer.

Bologna and Lazio played three times last season; one in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal and two in the Serie A. Lazio were unbeaten in all three games and in the previous matchup, Lazio defeated Bologna 2-0 away from home.
