Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

• Bologna won seven, drew two, and lost one of ten league games on the home patch this season.
• Sassuolo go into this off the back of five defeats in the last six outings across competitions.
• I Neroverdi shipped 22 goals in 11 away outings in this term of Serie A.

Bologna will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday evening when they host Sassuolo in Matchday No 23. I Rossoblu made it five straight games without a win in all competitions last weekend although the 2-2 draw at AC Milan can be considered as a great result for them.

Bologna offered a brave performance last Saturday at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. They ended AC Milan’s four-win streak in the league thanks to a late Riccardo Orsolini penalty kick. On a negative note, Bologna dropped to eighth place in the Serie A table after a run of four successive winless affairs in the league.

Sassuolo continued their own negative run last weekend as well. I Neroverdi lost fifth match in the last six outings in all competitions on Sunday. They fell 0-1 away at Monza. Head coach Alessio Dionisi can’t be happy at all with his team’s attacking displays in recent outings. Sassuolo scored just two goals in the previous five league matches. They are now just one point above Cagliari in the red zone.

Recent Meetings

• The teams have managed four wins each in the previous ten head-to-head encounters at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
• They shared spoils in a 1-1 draw in the reverse game played in late-October last year at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.
• Both outfits were on target in three of the previous four head-to-head affairs.

Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction

This match represents a perfect opportunity for Bologna to return to winning ways. They have been a force at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara so far in the season. I Rossoblu won seven, drew two, and lost just one of ten league fixtures on the home patch this term. They boosted the spirits in the dressing room by earning a big 2-2 draw away at AC Milan last weekend. Sassuolo are on a run of five losses in the last six outings across competitions. They lost seven of eleven league fixtures on the road, conceding 22 goals along the way. Home win has to be the way to go at the 1.70 odds.

Bologna have a strong firepower on display in the final third. Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Orsolini have 14 goals combined so far in the season. Orsolini bagged the equalizer seven days ago at AC Milan by converting the penalty kick. He and Zirkzee should have plenty of room to deliver here past the leaky Sassuolo back line. We will back the penalty-taker and go for Orsolini to score anytime at the 2.75 odds.
