Bologna Under the guidance of Vincenzo Italiano, Bologna suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Aston Villa in the previous round. As a result, Bologna lost their second consecutive Champions League match and with just one point, they sit at the 29th position in the tournament table. Additionally, the Italians are among only four teams that have yet to score in the current group stage of the Champions League. Defender Martin Erlic will miss the game due to injury. The team has not lost in their last nine home matches in Serie A (2 wins, 7 draws). No more than two goals were scored in the club's last five home matches in the Italian championship. Bologna conceded at most one goal in 12 of their last 13 home matches in Serie A. Monaco In the last round, Adi Hütter's charges thrashed Serbian Red Star 5-1 at home. As a result, Monaco extended their unbeaten streak in normal time in the Champions League to six matches (2 wins, 4 draws) and recorded their biggest victory in this European competition since 2015. With seven points, the French side is among the leaders of the group stage – they occupy the fourth spot in the tournament table. Defender Mohammed Salisu, midfielder Denis Zakaria, and forward Folarin Balogun will miss the game due to injuries. The club has not won in normal time in 10 of their last 11 away Champions League matches (6 draws, 4 losses). The team conceded at least two goals in 6 of their last 8 away matches in this European competition. The number '2' appeared in the scoreline at the end of normal time in the last five away matches of the French team in the Champions League. Bologna vs Monaco: match prediction At home, Bologna feels confident and often achieves positive results: in the last 23 home encounters in the Italian championship, the team has only lost once (13 wins, 9 draws). That defeat came in a match last season against Inter (0:1), who subsequently became the national champions. Moreover, Bologna did not lose at home to Shakhtar in the first round of the current group stage of the Champions League (0:0). Monaco, on the other hand, rarely achieves victories in away Champions League matches: the team has won in normal time only once in their last 11 away games in this European cup. And in the confrontation with Zagreb's Dinamo in the second round of the current group stage, the French side barely avoided defeat, recovering two goals in the closing stages of the match. I believe the Italians will be able to resist Monaco and earn points in this confrontation. My prediction: "Bologna win or draw" with odds of 1.51. Author: Dmitry Shchurko
