Bologna

LWLLWL

Bologna will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 1-0 Coppa Italia losing effort in their last game against Lazio.

In that game, Bologna managed 46% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target. For their opponents, Lazio got 14 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Felipe Anderson (33') was the scorer for Lazio.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Bologna haven’t conceded. The facts show that Bologna have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 11 goals on the way. Let’s see if that trend will be sustained here.

Cremonese

Napoli got 20 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Juan Jesus (33') and Giovanni Simeone (36') scored for SSC Napoli. Cremonese ran out winners after a 5-4 penalty shootout.

The strike force from Cremonese have struggled for goals in their past six encounters, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Grigiorossi have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 10.

Heading into this contest, Cremonese haven’t won away from home in the past 9 matches in the league. A poor run.
