Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Como will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Udinese when they welcome Bologna to their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday afternoon. The Gli Azzurri are still eyeing their first win of the season and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Summer signing Raphael Varane has yet to overcome a knee injury, while both Oliver Abildgaard and Daniele Baselli remain doubtful for the hosts.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Empoli. As Bologna are determined to record their first win of the process as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. The likes of Lewis Ferguson, Oussama El Azzouzi, and Dan Ndoye are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team, while Croatia defender Martin Erlic is a major doubt. In their last meeting in the Italian top flight, back in 2003, Como crushed Bologna 5-1.
