On May 8, Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia) will host the match of the 34th round of the Serie A, in which Sassuolo will compete with Bologna. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Sassuolo

The club had been playing under the rule of De Zerbi until 2021. On the one hand, it achieved good results. On the other hand, Roberto’s maximum was the 8th place, even if the team took it twice in a row (the result was not enough to return to the European competitions). The successor, Dionisi, made a serious step back. The previous season gave to “the Neroverdi” only the 11th position. Nowadays, the rise to the top of the table seems to be unbelievable. However, “the Black and Greens”, in any case, will “hang out” somewhere at the so-called equator of the Calcio standings. There is no surprise that the team alternates victories with defeats without a clear tournament motivation. It is also noticeable that the performance at the home arena is better – even Juventus was defeated there. At the same time, the team lost to Lazio without any chances in the previous round – 0-2.

Bologna

The team changed the mentor only some six months ago, in the autumn. Speaking about the off-season, “the Red and Blues” were prepared, as in the previous cases, by Mihajlović, and he also led during the starting rounds, but then the management decided to part with Siniša. Not everyone accepted such a castling immediately, but being under the rule of Thiago Motta, a popular club could, for a while, even become a contender for the 7th place, which is a ticket for the European tournament. By and large, there happened only one defeat made by Verona, but it is reasonable to emphasize the super-motivation of this fighter for survival. At the same time, the team was able to beat Atalanta and share the points in the matches with Milan and Juventus in April. However, Empoli made a defeat without any chances – it scored, at first, three times, and only then gave an opportunity for the goal of prestige.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams exchanged away victories in the previous season. Speaking about the current one, Bologna defeated Sassuolo with a 3-0 score at the home arena in November.

Predictions
