Bologna - Torino: Can Bologna finally win a game this season?
In the fifth round of the Italian Serie A, we have a clash between Bologna and Torino to look forward to. It will take place on Saturday, September 19, kicking off at 3:00 PM CET, and I am offering a bet on it.
Bologna - Torino: Match preview
Bologna appointed Domenico Tedesco as their head coach in the summer, but the German manager failed to deliver in the role. He was sacked at the beginning of September. The team have played four Serie A matches this season and have yet to win. They drew 2:2 with Sassuolo and suffered three defeats. One point, a 2:5 goal difference and 16th place in the table. The team are already preparing for their next match with a new manager at the helm – Palladino.
Torino have also been far from consistent this Serie A season and overall. They won one match in the Coppa Italia and one against Fiorentina. However, Torino have already been knocked out of the Coppa Italia, losing 0:1 to Monza. They have also lost to Milan 1:2, Sassuolo 1:2 and Roma 0:2 in Serie A. The Turin side have three points to their name and sit 14th in the table with a 4:7 goal difference. The team will be fighting for a place in the middle of the table, having finished 12th last season.

Bologna and Torino have hardly impressed at all this season, and I think we will see an interesting encounter in which both sides will be determined to win. I am offering a bet on over 2 total goals in the match at odds of 1.51.
