Bologna form and stats

1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Bologna so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Bologna will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Juventus (placed 1st). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lazio that ended 2-2.

Bologna's goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski was extremely busy against Juventus, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 8 saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bologna have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bologna as they are travelling to their away game against Cagliari in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

The Bologna fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Bologna have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Sampdoria form and stats

The manager C. Ranieri is not happy with the away performances in the Serie A so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. A depressing four defeats in a row for Sampdoria in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Sassuolo.

Sampdoria's last game was the home draw against Roma (0-0). A 0-2 defeat away at Hellas Verona before that.

We have checked recent matches where Sampdoria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were W0-D0-L1.

After this away game Sampdoria return home for a Serie A game against Lecce. That game is only three sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sampdoria's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Sampdoria's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 2 - 4 (Bologna wins - draws - Sampdoria wins). As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.
