Italian Serie A picks for Bologna Verona

Before you tune in to Friday's match, you need to see the Italian Serie A picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also excelled in Serie A with a 63-39-1 mark, returning nearly $1,600.

For Verona vs. Bologna, Sutton is picking Bologna to draw no bet for a -115 payout. Both teams should put up a fight since a win can improve their standing in the Italian Serie A table. But the expert is giving Bologna the advantage given how well they have played as of late and on the road this season.

Bologna are unbeaten in their last five games with two wins and three draws. Plus, they have won three of their last five league road games and scored two or more goals in four of those five matches. Even though Verona was able to hold off Napoli last weekend, they could have a tough time containing Bologna, whom the expert believes will snag all three points on Friday. Stream the game here.
