Sassuolo vs Bologna – Preview, and Prediction
Sassuolo vs Bologna – Bologna will try to continue their current eight-game winning streak when they travel to Reggio nell’Emilia on Saturday afternoon to play Sassuolo at MAPEI Stadium, Citta del Tricolore, in Gameweek No. 10.
Bologna moved up to seventh place in the Serie A rankings after racking up seven points from their previous three games.
In their 2-1 victory over Frosinone at home on Sunday, they struck twice in the first half, their third straight game with at least two goals.
With no more than seven goals conceded in nine games this season, Bologna has one of the greatest defensive records in the league, so head coach Thiago Motta can also be pleased with his team’s defensive performances.
Bologna has also not lost while traveling, even though they have played Inter Milan and Juventus. They have drawn all four of their away games this season.
For this weekend’s matchup against Sassuolo, who have been inconsistent since the beginning of the season, a draw seems like the most likely outcome.
Seven days ago, I Neroverdi let their supporters down once more by losing 0-2 at home to Lazio in a lackluster display at MAPEI Stadium.
Sassuolo has only managed to score one goal in their last three Serie A matches, despite playing Monza, Lecce, and Lazio in that span.
