The meeting of the previous round with Napoli proved to be Domenico Tedesco's last as Bologna's coach. The Rossoblu narrowly lost to the Partenopei and only worsened their league standing. The Felsinei impressed at the start of the match, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR intervention. That moment remained almost the only real scoring chance for Milinkovic-Savic's goal. The Azzurri began probing the opponent's defense. Napoli's attempts to score against Pessina's goal paid off in the 66th minute when Lobotka finished a cross from the flank. Torino also finished the last round with a defeat. The Bulls hosted Roma, and from the opening minutes the flow of the match became largely clear. The first dangerous moment by the Giallorossi came as early as the tenth minute, but Malenu was slightly off with accuracy. They capitalized on their superiority late in the first half. Some attempts by the Garnets to respond bore no fruit. Abate's charges conceded the second goal right at the final whistle. The last time the teams met was earlier this year at the Turin Olimpico, where Bologna won 2-1 away. Bologna are noticeably under their xG metric. Statistically, the Felsinei should have scored about 4.47 more goals than they have. Bologna chose a very opportune moment for a managerial change. Raffaele Palladino will have a full international break to work with. As is usually the case, managerial changes tend to have a positive effect from the very first game. Bologna has all the qualities needed to overhaul their playing style. The football that Tedesco implemented was atypical for the team, and the low goal tally confirms that. However, Palladino is unlikely to be able to fix the defense. The Rossoblu will become more liberated offensively, which, besides obvious advantages, also has downsides. Torino, like their rivals, are far from their best form. Nevertheless, this does not prevent the Granata from performing fairly regularly. Thus the Turinese have scored against Milan, Sassuolo and Fiorentina. Only the match against Roma did not end with goals on both sides. It is quite likely that in the upcoming game there will also be no goals on the scoreboard.
