Bologna vs Como Prediction & Tips
Bologna finished last season in ninth place, three points behind the top six, but Italiano’s side will be playing in the Europa League thanks to their victory over AC Milan (1-0) in the Italian Cup final on 14 May. After defeating Virtus Verona (7-0), Levadiakos (3-2) and Stuttgart (1-0) in pre-season friendlies, Bologna suffered defeat on the opening day of Serie A at AS Roma (1-0) last weekend. The two clubs were virtually evenly matched (51% possession for Roma and 14 shots to 10), but the Giallorossi made the difference thanks to their summer signing Wesley Franca.
Côme beat Lazio Rome (2-0) at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on the first day of Serie A, confirming their impressive 3-1 victory over Sudtirol in the round of 32 of the Italian Cup eight days earlier. The momentum is there for Alvaro Morata’s new club, which has now recorded six wins in seven games. Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas is already in fine form, having scored three goals in Como’s first two official matches. He could cause panic in the Bologna defence this weekend.
