Before that, Bologna had a home game versus Torino which ended with a victory 2-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Bologna perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bologna as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Bologna has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Sassuolo form and stats
