vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Bologna are sixteenth with just 1 point after three rounds: no wins, one draw and two defeats, 2 goals scored and 4 conceded. At home they have played twice, drawing one and losing one, while away they have lost the only game played. Their recent outings tell of a difficult start: a 2-2 home draw against Sassuolo, before that a 0-1 defeat away to Atalanta, before that again a 0-1 home loss to Lazio, further back a 0-1 away defeat to Brighton and, furthest back of all, a 1-4 home loss to Pisa. Torino are thirteenth with 3 points from three games, with one win, no draws and two defeats, 4 goals scored and 5 conceded. At home they have lost the only game played, while away they have won one and lost the other of two matches. Their recent run has also been uneven: a 2-1 win away to Fiorentina, before that a 0-1 home loss to Monza, before that again a 1-2 away defeat to Sassuolo, further back a 1-2 home loss to AC Milan and, furthest back of all, a 1-0 home win over Carrarese. The recent head-to-head record is balanced: the most recent meeting, at Torino, finished 1-2 to Bologna; before that a goalless draw at Bologna, before that again a 3-2 also at Bologna, further back a 0-2 at Torino and, in the most distant meeting, a 0-0 again at Torino. The competition average is 2.85 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
