Bologna vs Sassuolo
Italian Serie A
Date: 15 May 2022, Sunday
Kick-off at 11:30 UK / 12:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Mid-table rivals Bologna and Udinese will meet each other in the penultimate round of the 2021/22 Serie A campaign on Sunday morning at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Both outfits have been on the beach for quite some time being out of any kind of race in the Serie A standings.
They are separated by three points and the top-half finish will be the biggest thing at stake in this matchup.
The lack of proper motivation has caused a massive slide in form for both teams in the last several weeks.
The slide was greater for Sassuolo who lost three and drew one of the previous four league outings.
The team led by former Empoli manager Alessio Dionisi ended a three-loss streak with a 1-1 draw to Udinese in what was anything but an impressive performance from I Neroverdi last Saturday.
On the other side, we have Bologna who have won just two of the last eleven Serie A fixtures. They were on the best way to snatch three points against the already-relegated Venezia side last weekend, but conceded two late goals to eventually lose the tie 4-3 at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
Bologna vs Sassuolo Head-to-head
This match has goals in it if we are to judge by tradition since seven of the last eight head to head games between the two rivals saw three or more goals scored.
Bologna clinched a convincing 0-3 victory when they met Sassuolo in the first half of the season at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.
Sassuolo, however, won three, drew one, and lost one of the previous five encounters with Bologna.
Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction
Neither Bologna nor Sassuolo have been playing defense recently and we have plenty of reasons to back a high-scoring scenario when they come across each other in Matchday No 37.
On top of tradition (seven of the last eight H2H clashes provided three or more goals), we have to add the lack of motivation for keeping things quiet defensively for both outfits.
The Over 2.5 goals FT is thus by far the best betting option here and you can back it at the 1.66 odds. We also like the 2.10 odds offered for Bologna’s talisman Marko Arnautovic to score anytime in such a high-scoring affair.
