Sassuolo, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 home defeat by Lazio will have left the Sassuolo squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 51% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 18 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Alessio Dionisi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games overall.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, Domenico Berardi will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Sassuolo in their last 6 home games.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Frosinone. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Frosinone who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 3 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 7 goals. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 7 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 4 games on the road, the I Rossoblù travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
Riccardo Orsolini will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bologna.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for I Rossoblù in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Sassuolo in their last 15 meetings together.
In the league, Bologna have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore.
Domenico Berardi will be feeling confident of netting goals for Sassuolo in this one against Bologna with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
