Bologna, Recent FormBologna manager Thiago Motta will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 6-1 away defeat by Inter Milan. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Inter Milan who had 13 attempts and 7 on target.
Motta will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 14 league games.
They have had a good run of form at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Marko Arnautović will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Bologna's 14 league games this season.
Sassuolo, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Roma in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Sassuolo. They came away from that fixture with a 47% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Roma, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
It was not a positive ending for Bologna last time they met Sassuolo in the league, with the game ending in a 1-3 defeat.
Bologna will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Sassuolo, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 13 meetings between the two. Rossoblu have struggled to keep Sassuolo at bay when these two teams have met at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, during the last 3 times they have hosted Sassuolo in the league, they have conceded a total of 9 goals.
When playing at home, Bologna have lost the last 3 times they've faced Sassuolo in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
Riccardo Orsolini will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Bologna against Sassuolo in this one, having netted 4 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Bologna manager Thiago Motta ahead of this clash, with Kevin Bonifazi (Tendon) missing out, which gives Motta a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Grégoire Defrel (Foot) and Mert Müldür (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alessio Dionisi will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
