Bologna

DDDDDL 🤝

Bologna will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Genoa.

In that match, Bologna had 65% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Genoa got 10 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Miha Zajc (44') and Mattia Destro (55') scored for Genoa.

It has been seldom in recent games where Bologna have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Rossoblu have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals during that time.

Their past results show that Bologna:

• are unbeaten in the league by Hellas Verona in their last 4 matches.
• have not won against Hellas Verona in their previous 2 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 3 league games.
