Bologna Preview
To explain Bologna’s current situation in the Italian Serie A, we have to take a look at the numbers, which speak for themselves. The northern team lost to the seven teams that occupy the top positions in the standings: Napoli, Milan, Juventus, Internazionale, Lazio, Atalanta and Roma.
It is clear that when they have to face a big team, it gets ugly for the I Rossoblù. However, in this match, Bologna will be playing against a team that is at the bottom of the standings, which makes things completely different. In its home stadium, Bologna lost only two of the eight matches it has played.
The team’s main player is Austrian Marko Arnautovic, who is also the team’s top scorer with 8 goals. Yet, Marko is in doubt for this match due to an injury. Bologna is coming off its most important win of the season away from home against its direct rival, Udinese.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lukasz Skorupski; Stefan Posch, Adama Soumaoro, John Lucumi, Charalampos Lykogiannis; Lewis Ferguson, Jerdy Schouten, Nikola Moro; Riccardo Orsolini, Nicola Sansone, Michel Aebischer.
Cremonese Preview
The situation is very difficult for Cremonese, a humble club from Lombardy that had some resonance in the 80s and that after many years in the Italian promotion returned to the first division. However, the team has had a very hard time adapting to the other teams’ level. In fact, Cremonese has not won a single one of the 18 matches it has played, scoring just 13 goals.
This situation, and last week’s loss to Monza, led to the dismissal of Massimiliano Alvini as a coach. While this team’s outlook dos not look very promising, at least it already has a new manager: Davide Ballardini, a coach with a long track record in Serie A. This coach’s first challenge was impressive, as he eliminated Napoli from the Coppa Italia.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Marco Carnesecchi; Jack Hendry, Matteo Bianchetti, Johan Vasquez; Leonardo Sernicola, Soualiho Meité, Michele Castagnetti, Charles Pickel, Giacomo Quagliatta; Daniel Ciofani, David Okereke.
JefeBet Prediction
Bologna is strong at its home stadium, but it will face a team that is desperate to win a game. Cremonese has a new coach and the confidence on the rise after the surprising win over Napoli. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that this match will end in a draw.
Prediction: They tie 1-1.
