National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Bologna or Reggina that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Reggina have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Bologna form and stats
Last season, Bologna's Coppa Italia journey ended in the 4th round.Only two Serie A home games for Bologna so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Bologna has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Mihajlović and the players.
Bologna faced defeat in their previous match, away at Lazio (1-2). Ahead of that match, Bologna lost 3-4 at home to Sassuolo.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bologna as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Cagliari are visiting.
Bologna has scored 7 goals so far and conceded 5 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Reggina form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Teramo in order to reach 3rd Round of Coppa Italia. They also participated in Coppa Italia last season. This ended in the 2nd round.Reggina are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Cavese game have they lost an away game, meaning Reggina has taken points from eight away matches in a row. With three draws in a row for Reggina the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Reggina has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Pordenone for a Serie B game that ended a draw (2-2). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Cosenza.
The draw against Pordenone came from a losing position. The Reggina manager D. Toscano brought on Michael Folorunsho as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
Reggina have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. 4 goals have been conceded by Reggina in these games.
