Bologna to bounce back after two defeats
It hasn’t been a stable run of form recently for Bologna as they have won two, lost two, and drew two matches in their last six outings. The Rossoblu had very good results by beating Lazio in their last home match but that was followed by two defeats on the road.
In their last match away to Napoli where they lost 3-1, coach Sinisa Mihajlovic’s team had better possession with 55% and completed more passes than Napoli with 413 passes and had seven shots on target from 17 attempts.
Bologna hasn’t been scoring many goals lately with five in their last five matches. Mihajlovic needs to find ways for his attack to be more efficient as they play at home.
Sampdoria playing without any ambition
Sitting comfortably at mid-table, Sampdoria go into this match without a real ambition for their season. They are 15 points behind a European spot and are safe from the bottom of the table being 12 points clear of 18th placed Torino.
They lost ten points in their last four matches and that made the gap increase with the top six. One of the main reasons for these results is their defense as the Blucerchiati had just one clean sheet in their last ten matches.
In their last two matches, Sampdoria had better ball possession and more goal attempts than their opponents but still couldn’t win.
