Bologna vs Sassuolo Preview
Bologna have had an alright season but it has been nothing to shout home about really. Their recent form has not been amazing either, and they have lost 3 matches in a row. However it has to be said that these came against Napoli, Fiorentina and Inter Milan, some of the top sides in the league.
The main problem for Bologna is missing players through suspension. Ibrahima Mbaye, Adam Masina and Rodrigo Palacio are all missing through suspension for this game, while Simone Verdi is injured. Roberto Donadoni has some decisions to make.
Sassuolo have been struggling too and sit in 15th place in Serie A with 23 points. They recently lost 7-0 against Juventus away from home too which will have knocked any confidence they had out of them.
Matteo Politano is struggling with muscular injury, and he will face a late fitness test to determine if he has a chance to start. Antonino Ragusa will deputise should his teammate not make it. Timo Letschert will definitely be out.

Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction
Bologna were holding on against Inter for nearly an hour last week, but they did eventually fall to their fifth defeat in the last six games. There are 10 points between themselves and the relegation zone, so they will not be feeling too much pressure, but they do still need to pick up points.
Sassuolo partially recovered from their heavy loss to Juventus by collecting a point against Cagliari in a goalless draw last week. Defensively, this will have been a big boost for them. There tend to be goals in matches involving Bologna recently, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Bologna‘s last 9 games in Serie A.
However, Sassuolo have failed to score in their last 3 Serie A matches and have not won in 6, so it will be difficult for them here.
Both sides are not in very good form at all so it is unlikely to be a free flowing game, but Bologna seem to have a little more quality, and therefore the tip is for the home side to win.

In the recent meetings between the two sides the pendulum of power has swung. Sassuolo had back to back 0-1 wins against Bologna back in 2014 and 2015, but since then it is Bologna who have had the better of things.
Successive 0-1 wins have gone Bologna’s way including the last meeting between the two sides back in September. On that occasion it was Okwonkwo who grabbed the winner in the 89th minute.
