The loss to Milan in the first leg remains Bologna's only loss in the league. After nine meetings, the team has 13 points, which it gained thanks to three wins and five draws. All this allows it to occupy the eighth place and even think about getting into the European Cup zone. One of the successes came to the wards of Tiago Motta in the last round. "Rossoblu" at the "Renato Dall'Ara" beat Eusebio di Francesco's Frosinone. This was possible thanks to goals from Ferguson and De Silvestri. Lorenzo's goal was a sight to behold. However, the Felsinese could not keep their goal intact. So, in the 63rd minute, Sule scored for the Canaries. Before that, Bologna played 2-2 with Inter and crushed Empoli 3-0. The start for Tiago Motta's men has been excellent.

Sassuolo can not get a victory for three rounds. In this stretch, the team lost twice and once shared the points. One of the defeats happened just in the past round. So, at home, the "Neroverdi" with a score of 0:2 lost to Lazio. Alessio Dionisi's wards had no special chances, which is reflected in the statistics. To a certain extent, this is due to the abundance of injured players. Aubiang, Toljan, Matheus Henrique and Viti could not take part in the meeting with the Eagles. However, it is not the first time for the allenatore to solve personnel problems this season. With one problem or another, the Neroverdi have managed to get great results. It is worth recalling that Sassuolo have already managed to beat Inter and Juventus in this championship. At the moment, the team is located on the 13th line and has in its asset ten points. For nine rounds Dionisi wards scored 12 goals, and conceded 16. The rate of conceded goals is one of the highest in the championship.

Three "dry" draws in a row, starting from the fourth round, affected the statistical indicator of Bologna. Thus, Tiago Motta's men have conceded 2.78 goals on xG and 2.07 less than they should have on xGA. Interestingly, at the Citta del Tricolore the rivals often exchange goals in head-to-head meetings. Thus, it happened in four of the last five meetings. This one is unlikely to be an exception.
