Bologna, Recent FormBologna will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Udinese. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Udinese's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Thiago Motta will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 18 league matches.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Bologna recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Cremonese, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Monza will not have sat easily with the Cremonese squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Monza had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 league games.
Cremonese will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 18 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cremonese, Daniel Ciofani will be looking to add more goals against Bologna in this match.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that the 2 sides have met in the league.
Bologna manager Thiago Motta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marko Arnautović (Foot), Kevin Bonifazi (Tendon), Lorenzo De Silvestri (Physical discomfort) and Joshua Zirkzee (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Vlad Chiricheș (Thigh) and Ionuţ Radu (Physical discomfort) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Davide Ballardini will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
