The Serie A season is back this weekend and these Bologna vs. Frosinone predictions look at two teams looking to push their form in a positive direction this month. Frosinone are in stronger form but Bologna have one of the best current defensive Serie A records.
1 – A draw – 3/1
2 – Bologna under 2.5 total goals – 3/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 19/20
4 – Both teams not to score – 21/20
5 – A 0-0 draw – 23/2
The return to Serie A action this weekend allows teams a chance to kick start their season in the window before the November international break.
Bologna host Frosinone on their switch back to Serie A, with the home side developing a reputation as draw specialists in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in their last seven games, with five ending as a draw, with this weekend’s visitors Frosinone drawing three of their last six in league action.
All of the signs point to that pattern continuing in this game, with the potential for Bologna to edge into the top half of the table if results elsewhere go in their favour. Bologna have become proficient at keeping clean sheets, but have had problems scoring goals at the other end of the pitch.
They secured three successive 0-0 draws in September and have conceded just one home goal in their last three matches at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
That stiff defence, matched with a Frosinone side that has scored just once in their three away matches this season, shows a pattern where goals are difficult to come by for both teams at the moment.
Another goalless draw will not cause a panic for Bologna, as solidity is a valuable asset, with their rivals already in danger of sliding into relegation danger before the end of the year.
This game may not be the most exciting clash on the calendar this weekend but it looks to be a very safe option for a low-scoring encounter based on the lack of goals for either team right now.

Frosinone are expected to be boosted by some key returns to their match day squad, with Kaio Jorge and Abdou Harroui both back in training following injuries. Pol Liola could also come in to bolster the defence for this game if he is needed.
