There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie A table so far. Here's the Bologna - Sassuolo latest:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bologna and Sassuolo.

Bologna form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Bologna have managed 4 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 15 games.

A strong away win for Bologna against Inter the last match, as Musa Juwara and Musa Barrow were on target. Nobody expected Bologna to beat Inter in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. In the match before that, Bologna hosted Cagliari and drew the game 1-1.

Things did not look good last match, when Roberto Soriano got a red card in the 57th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Bologna resulted in a win!

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

Bologna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bologna defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sassuolo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

The supporters enjoyed Sassuolo's previous game versus Lecce (placed 18th), a Serie A 4-2 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Fiorentina at their stadium, the result 3-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Lecce was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sassuolo manager R. De Zerbi as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lazio.

Sassuolo are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 20 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Sassuolo's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Sassuolo - Bologna 3-1, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - three - two (Bologna wins - draws - Sassuolo wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
