Sassuolo preview: Silky Sassuolo

Having gained promotion back to the top-flight last season, Sassuolo have made it very clear they have no intention of sinking back into Serie B once again as the hosts push for the top seven or eight and the potential European spots.

The home team come into this one on the back of a defeat, though, as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico with full-back Adam Marusic scoring deep into second-half stoppage-time.

Bologna preview: Distracted Bologna

Bologna, under the management of Vincenzo Italiano, have been underwhelming in 2026 but the visitors also have the distraction of their current European campaign aside from domestic stuff.

They are in the middle of a round of 16 tie against Roma in the UEFA Europa League, having shared a 1-1 draw in the first-leg with Lorenzo Pellegrini cancelling out Federico Bernadeschi’s opener in the second-half.

Sassuolo vs Bologna prediction

Bologna have won five games in the last month but they were all unconvincing one-goal victories and a return to what has been more of the mean this year came last week as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to relegation-bound Hellas Verona. Sassuolo will want to bounce back as they push for European football and siding with the hosts would be a good value bet for this one.

Sassuolo vs Bologna tip: Double chance – Sassuolo to win or draw
