Bologna is showing solid form, but is only 24th in the Europa League. The Italian club is currently qualifying for the knockout stages, but at considerable risk.
Salzburg is lower in the standings (28th) and is experiencing serious defensive issues, having conceded six goals in four Europa League matches. The Austrian club has been showing inconsistent results, which is especially noticeable in away matches.
Given the teams' current form, Bologna's solid defense, and Salzburg's problems on the road, a victory for the hosts is most likely. The Italian team will be able to capitalize on their home advantage.
