Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both teams come into this game in great form with the pair of them going on an unbeaten streak across their last five games. Bologna have won twice, including a huge victory of title challenging Atalanta, drawing the remaining three matches. Torino on the other hand have picked up one win and four draws, slightly struggling to be clinical enough. This Friday’s match is very important to each team’s season, but it seems like Bologna will grab all three points after a sluggish first half.

Bologna Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Lukasz Skorupski; Juan Miranda, Jhon Lucumí, Sam Beukema, Davide Calabria; Nikola Moro, Remo Freuler; Dan Ndoye, Benja Domínguez, Thijs Dallinga; Santiago Castro

Bologna have had a great start to the season. They are on their way to try and match their best finish of the last 10 years, which they did last season, finding themselves just outside the European places now almost halfway through the campaign. After 23 games they sit in eighth place with nine wins, three losses and 11 draws. Those matches have left them with 38 points, sharing that tally with Italian giants AC Milan but it is goal difference that stops Bologna from sitting higher up the Serie A standings. A win with results going their way across table and they could leapfrog their way over Milan. Stepping up this season for I Rossoblù has been winger Riccardo Orsolini. The 28 year old has provided 10 goal contributions, split into seven goals and three assists. Unfortunately for Bologna, Orsolini is unavailable for this match due to a hamstring injury that still sees him sidelined but his return is imminent. The remaining Bologna players, the likes of Santiago Castro who has matched Orsolini’s 10 goal involvements and Dan Ndoye who trails one behind with nine will have to band together to become the difference makers this Friday as three points today would be a massive boost to help achieve their season goals.

Torino Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Vanja Milinković-Savić; Borna Sosa, Saúl Coco, Guillermo Maripán, Marcus Pedersen; Cesare Casadei, Karol Linetty; Yann Karamoh, Nikola Vlašić, Valentino Lazaro; Ché Adams

Torino have had a decent start to the season, finding themselves just outside the top half of the table now coming towards the second half of the campaign. After 24 games they sit in 11th place with six wins, eight losses and 10 draws. Those matches have left them with 28 points, a whole 10 points behind opponents Bologna. In the goals for Il Toro has been striker Ché Adams. The Scotsman is relishing in his first season in Italy, finding the back of the net seven times, accompanied with two assists, making him the top goal contributor for the club. Adams has had a two game scoring drought after grabbing himself a brace against Cagliari but he could easily return back to his goalscoring form this Friday. Equally, it isn’t just him that can provided goals in this Torino squad. They have a plethora of players capable of grabbing a goal to make sure that the responsibility doesn’t just fall upon Adams’ shoulders.
