🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Bologna will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, Salernitana may well struggle finding the net themselves although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 3-1 margin for Bologna after 90 minutes.
