Bologna vs. Torino: Match Prediction
At home, Vincenzo Italiano's team has performed confidently this season. Their unfortunate slip-up against Verona (2-3) in the 18th round is their only loss in the last 15 home Serie A matches. In their last seven home games, Bologna has won five times, keeping a clean sheet in four of those matches.
Torino tries to put up a fight in every match, but they struggle away from home. In their last nine away Serie A games, Paolo Vanoli's side has only beaten Empoli, suffering four defeats during this period. Additionally, Torino's last two visits to Bologna in the league ended in disappointment – 1-2 and 0-2.
I expect a strong performance from the hosts in this encounter. My prediction: Bologna to Win
