Bologna vs Torino

Bologna enters this match without a win in their latest six listed outings, a stretch that includes a goalless loss to Napoli on 13 September and a 2:2 draw against Sassuolo on 6 September. Over their three matches with available data, Artem Dovbyk and Roberto Piccoli each recorded one goal, while goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski made seven saves. The side, which lined up 4-2-3-1 under Domenico Tedesco in their most recent league match, has clearly had more of the ball than their opponents over the covered matches. Torino arrives with two wins and four losses in their recent sequence, most recently falling to AS Roma on 14 September. Their form includes a 2:1 victory over Fiorentina on 5 September, where Che Adams, Giovanni Simeone, and Pietro Comuzzo each contributed a goal. Goalkeeper Diego Mascardi has recorded 10 saves across his three matches with available data, and the side lined up 3-1-4-2 under Ignazio Abate in their latest league fixture.

Bologna has maintained dominance in their recent meetings, remaining unbeaten against Torino across their last four encounters. Bologna secured victories in three of these matches, including a 2:1 result in February and a 3:2 win in February of last year, with a goalless draw in October of last year being the only exception.

• Bologna are without Artem Dovbyk, who scored one goal over the listed matches, and Roberto Orsolini, two of the four ruled out or in doubt.
• Torino are missing Che Adams, their top scorer with two goals over the listed matches, along with Franco Israel and Pietro Pellegri, three of the four ruled out or in doubt.
• Bologna have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their recent form, while Torino have conceded eight goals across their own six-match sequence.
• Bologna averaged 17 shots per match over the covered period, while Torino averaged 10 shots per match with six conceded on target.

Bologna holds a strong historical advantage in this fixture, having avoided defeat in each of their last four meetings with Torino. While Torino possesses the higher goal tally over the recent matches, Bologna's attacking volume, led by the contributions of players like Artem Dovbyk with his one goal over the listed matches, suggests they may find opportunities against a Torino defence anchored by goalkeeper Diego Mascardi, who has 10 saves over the listed matches. The home side looks better placed.
