Bologna did not perform well in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. In the home match, the Rossoblu were defeated by Aston Villa 1-3. The Felsinei went ahead in the 26th minute, but the match was abandoned after a VAR intervention. The old adage you don't score, they score against you was realized by the English side near the end of the first half. Moreover, almost immediately after the restart, Emery's players doubled the lead. Rossoblu reduced the deficit in the 90th minute, but four minutes later conceded the third. Lecce continues the fight for survival. Not in the best form, as in the last three rounds the team has earned zero points. On Monday the Giallorossi were decisively defeated by Atalanta, and before that by Roma. The latest results of Lecce should not leave the impression that the wolves are in a difficult position and have no chances of staying in the league. The Giallorossi have faced a heavy schedule. Some metrics point to a certain misfortune for the wolves. For example, the xG metric indicates that the team should have scored another 7.2 goals. Bologna, at the same time, has an xGA deficit. Statistically, the Rossoblu are expected to concede another six goals. In the context of the forecast it's also worth noting that Italiano's charges do not play well at home. Thus, at Renato Dall'Ara the team have won only five times in 15 rounds. Only two of them were by more than a one-goal margin. The proposed bet would have lost in only one of the last five head-to-head meetings between the teams, and it paid off three times. The first-leg match ended in a high-scoring draw. At Via del Mare the teams exchanged goals in each half. And although Lecce forced a draw in the 90+4th minute, the team were not inferior in terms of play. The motivation of Di Francesco's charges for this match is much higher. The Wolves continue to fight for survival. The head-to-head clash between direct rivals for 17th place is a great opportunity to move up the table. Rossoblu will evidently focus on the return leg of the Europa League. Four days after the mentioned match, the Felsinei will face Aston Villa in England. Anyway, Vincenzo Italiano will rest the main players. And Ferguson's suspension, for example, will slightly complicate the coach's rotation task. The visitors should take advantage of the hosts' fatigue and end their losing streak. At least, they will try.
