Bologna v Torino

Bologna vs Torino Preview

Bologna extended their unbeaten sequence in the Italian top flight to a solid looking six games last time out in Serie A when they gained a point away from home at Lecce in a 0-0 stalemate, but Vincenzo Italiano's side now return to the home surroundings of their Stadio Renato Dall'Ara for this upcoming encounter against mid-table Torino.

Torino were also involved in a draw last weekend in the domestic top flight when they drew 1-1 at home against Genoa which in turn extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to seven games overall which consists of no fewer than six stalemates and just one win!

Bologna have also been involved in four draws within their previous six games overall in Serie A but the upcoming hosts have at least posted a couple of wins within this period as well; wins at home against Monza 3-1 and Como 2-0 suggest Vincenzo Italiano's side will be tough to beat on home soil here on Friday night.

The wider picture shows Bologna have suffered just two defeats within their previous 21 games in Serie A whilst picking up nine wins in the process, along with losing just once in their last 15 matches overall which is a very solid record indeed at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

Torino have put together a stubborn looking seven matches without a defeat in the Italian top flight in recent times and the visitors are no strangers to being involved in draws in Serie A as Torino have drawn no fewer than 10 out of their total of 24 league matches played to date this term!

However, league wins have been hard to come by for Paolo Vanoli's side as Torino have managed to capture just three wins from their last 19 games overall in Serie A along with being handed eight defeats in the process as well.

Two of Torino's three wins during this rather barren looking spell of results were achieved on home soil at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino while results away from home have been below-par as the visitors have collected just one win from their previous nine outings on the road.

Having slipped to four defeats within this nine-game period along with keeping just two clean sheets into the bargain as well, Torino look to have their work cut out against a Bologna outfit looking to close the gap on the top six pack in the division with a win here.

Bologna v Torino Verdict

Bologna have lost just once in the previous six meetings against Torino and having picked up three wins during this period against their upcoming visitors, Bologna look the more likely to take the all-important three points here on Friday night.

Therefore, our main bet will be Bologna win @ 1.80
