Bologna preview: Indifferent start

Following the appointment of former Schalke and Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco, Bologna have collected just one point from their opening four matches and the pressure may well already be growing on their new manager.

Bologna come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 loss to an underperforming Napoli side at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last weekend, courtesy of a 66th minyte winner scored by Stanislav Lobotka.

Torino preview: Struggling again

Like Bologna, Torino have also started this campaign with three defeats in their opening four matches but the visitors have got themselves a victory, against a Fiorentina side that would then sack manager Fabio Grosso, under their belt.

Torino succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to current league leaders Roma at Olimpico di Torino in Turin last weekend with goals scored by Serie A top scorer Donyell Malen as well as Nicolo Pisilli for the Giallorossi.

Bologna team news: A few doubts

Torino team news: Adams out

Torino have a big and new injury blow with Scotland international striker Che Adams now sidelined for the visitors as he deals with a thigh issue.

Predicted XI (3-5-1-1): Perri; Comert, Saul Coco, Comuzzo; Belghali, Mandragora, Fitz-Jim, Gineitis, Fortini; Vlasic; Giovanni Simeone

Bologna vs Torino prediction

Domenico Tedesco has previously only ever achieved relative success when able to play a very defensive and conservative style of football at Schalke quite a long time ago now. Bologna have a good squad that are perhaps better than that style of football would suggest. Torino, though, aren’t much of a threat and so the hosts to be sided with remains the better bet for this one in Emilio Romagna.
