The final weekend of Serie A matches before the World Cup involves all 20 teams in action, with these Bologna vs. Sassuolo predictions involving a real mid-table battle. Bologna are currently 12th in the table with Sassuolo in 13th.
Bologna vs. Sassuolo odds
1 – Bologna to win at – 16/11
2 – Bologna over 1.5 total goals – 23/20
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 6/7
4 – Both teams to score – 5/7
5 – Bologna to win 2-1 at – 9/1
Based on league position, there is very little to pick between Bologna and Sassuolo so far this season as they remain firmly locked in mid-table.
Bologna just have the edge in league position and in current form, with Thiago Motta’s side winning their last two home games and Sassuolo failing to pick up a single point in their last three Serie A matches on the road.
That streak should be enough to secure a key win for Bologna before they head off on the World Cup break next week.
Within that positive run of results, Bologna have impressed in front of goal in recent weeks, with five goals scored in their last three home league games. They have also scored in six out of seven home league matches this season.
However, they have struggled to keep defensive clean sheets on home soil, with just one secured in those seven league games, despite an overall positive run of results.
Sassuolo will be confident of causing problems in attack for Bologna, particularly based on their defensive issues at home, with Alessio Dionsi’s side scoring in three of their seven away games in Serie A action.
Bologna’s last four overall Serie A matches have included over 2.5 total goals scored with over 1.5 scored by Motta’s charges themselves.
This tie might not be a classic battle to wrap up Serie A for 2022 but Bologna will be pushing to continue their winning run at home and move into the top half of the table before the end of the calendar year.
