Sassuolo take on the visitors Bologna at “Mapei Stadium-Citta del Tricolore” in the matchday six of the Italian Serie A. The game will be played in Reggio Emilia on Sunday, September 24th.
Last round Sassuolo broke their unlucky streak within the elite division, having got their first victory in the season over Cagliari 1:0. After five encounters played, the club settles on the 14th position in the table with four points taken and 3-8 goal difference. Cristian Bucchi‘s side has not won at the home ground in this season yet, having recorded 0:0 draw against Genoa and 1:3 loss to Juventus in face of its supporters. While in recent years Sassuolo were known by their impressive attacking capability, in this season the club suffers greatly because of weak offense.

In their turn, Bologna also earned a single triumph, however, it has happened in the second gameweek over Benevento with 1:0 scoreline while in last three battles Roberto Donadoni’s team managed to take just one point. Bologna were beaten by Napoli 0:3 and Fiorentina 1:2, besides, the club gained unexpected 1:1 draw vs. Inter. As a result, the side occupies the 13th place in the Serie A standings with five points earned and 4-7 goal difference.
Both rivals have entered the season unsuccessfully and they would have to be among the elite division outsiders and contenders for relegation, if the Serie A new-comers were able to show better results. It means that currently there are many weak clubs in the Italian elite division apart from the upcoming opponents. Sassuolo and Bologna scored on average slightly less than one goal per game in this season. I believe that they will not combine a number of goals in the forthcoming battle as well as both sides will tend to reach a favourable result.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
