Match Prediction: Bologna vs Torino

Expected Goal Tally

Neither team is renowned for a particularly prolific attack, leading me to anticipate a low-scoring affair. While Bologna consistently finds the net at home, they often limit themselves to a single goal: in their last seven home league matches, they only surpassed the one-goal mark twice, and in one of those instances, they played more than a half with a numerical advantage against newcomers Pisa.

Torino’s Offensive Struggles Away

Meanwhile, the Turin-based squad faces significant challenges when attempting to breach opposing defenses on the road. Their recent fixture against Lazio, where Marco Baroni’s men scored three goals, appears to be an anomaly, as prior to that, the team had only netted a combined total of three goals in seven championship away matches.

Head-to-Head Statistics & Final Verdict

It’s also worth noting that in 7 out of the last 10 direct encounters held at Bologna’s home ground in , the teams combined for no more than two goals. My final prediction is: Total Goals Under 2.5 with odds of 1.65.
