Bologna take on the visitors Sampdoria in the round 32 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 11th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Bologna are going exactly according to the schedule that was expected of them this season. The reputation of the strong middle peasant Calcio is confirmed again. And this, of course, is largely the merit of the current mentor - Mikhailovich. The coach is fighting cancer and he left the team for repeating treatment. However, his team didn’t fail him and recorded a goalless draw with the leader of the standings. True, on the other hand, Rossoblue did not win again, and in general they have only 1 victory in the last 11 matches - in February over Spezia. But, most importantly, there already have 34 points in the asset, and this actually means that in the next football year the team will be represented in Serie A.

Sampdoria have not guaranteed its survival in elite division. The decision to return Marco Giampaolo to the post of head coach in the winter did not help either. Relatively recently, the same specialist raised the club from Genoa to European competition. Yes, after being appointed to the usual position, in February, it turned out to take several important victories over Sassuolo and Empoli. And before the pause for the matches of the national teams, it turned out to beat the newcomer, Venice, 2-0. There were also hopes for the April duel with Roma, but nevertheless, Jose Mourinho's men managed to score in the middle of the 1st half thanks to the efforts of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. 29 points after 31 matches is not enough for Sampa, however, and this is 7 points more than Venice and, most importantly, enemy neighbor Genoa.
Since 2019, for the 6th time in a row, Bologna have been developing their winning streak in head-to-heads. In November, thanks to the goals of Svanberg and Arnautović, it was possible to take 2-1 vicotry. Bologna have De Silvestri, Michael and Dominguez in question, but the main loss here is Mihailovic. Sampdoria risk not using Giovinco, Ekdal, Damsgaard and Gabbiadini again. But both teams are not particularly strong in attack, so the option with "total under 2.5 goals" suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
