Bologna vs Sassuolo — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.5: Bologna are not scoring at all and Sassuolo go missing on the road, and that is the whole case for a quiet game. Bologna have played two league games and lost both 0-1, so they are still waiting on their first goal of the season. They are also missing Orsolini, their main threat from wide areas, along with El Azzouzi. Sassuolo travel badly. They have no win in six away games, with two ties and four defeats, and they score less than a goal a game on the road. Five players are ruled out for them, including Boloca, Kone and Paz. They also had only four days off after a cup tie. Bologna had six. Tired legs and a patched up team rarely produce a goal rush. The history backs it up. The last two meetings between these clubs finished 1-0 and 1-1, and Sassuolo let in just over a goal a game. A 1-0 Bologna win looks the most likely score, decided by one moment of quality in a flat game at the Dall'Ara. The honest worry is that Sassuolo have been making plenty of chances in their last two games. A team that keeps getting into good areas eventually starts scoring, and Bologna are due a goal of their own. We still want the quiet game here.
