Prediction: 2-2
Bologna
Sassuolo and Bologna face each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in what is expected to be a close Serie A encounter. The Neroverdi dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina at the weekend, with the team continuing their streak of games with over 2.5 goals. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of their last 12 games in the Serie A, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Obiang and Djuricic remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Juventus. Bologna are not regarded as good travelers, but given Sassuolo’s shaky defence, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Shouten and Kingsley should be the only absentees in the away team.
