Bologna hosts Benevento in round 22 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 12th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)
Bologna is an ordinary middle peasant of the Italian championship. However, it played poorly in the last segment and fell to 13th place in the standings. In the last five rounds, Sinisa Mihajlovic's men managed to gain two victories (over Verona and Parma) and lost three times. Now Bologna is eight points ahead of the relegation zone. The team feels calm in the standings but needs to improve its position. Bologna looks good in terms of the lineup and can sign up strong players for the future. Currently, Mihajlovic can count on such quality players as Barrow, Orsolini, Soriano, Dominguez, Tomiyasu, Skorupski, and Sansone.

Benevento kept its wits in the company of the strongest Italian clubs. Filippo Inzaghi's charges occupy an intermediate 14th place in the standings. In the first half of the season, the team even was at the top part, but five rounds without victories in a row dropped it lower. Benevento's main weakness is the low reliability of the defensive line (41 goals conceded in 21 matches). Filippo Inzaghi has more than modest human resources. The team is run by experienced footballers, among whom Lapadula, Caprari, Insigne, Schiattarella, Ionitsa, Glik, and Improta stand out. But there are practically no young talents. Gaich (on loan from CSKA Moscow), Tello, Depaoli, Foulon, and Di Serio are the most promising performers of modern Benevento.
In the first part of the championship, the newcomer of the elite managed to defeat Mihajlovic's men in its native arena (1: 0). As for the second game, the clubs will probably show pragmatic football with an emphasis on defense. Filippo Inzaghi's team will play attack first, while Bologna will rely on counterattacks. We are unlikely to see high scoring indicators in the upcoming match, as both teams will be overly cautious and will not take risks on the green lawn.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
