Bologna: Red-Hot Form and Chasing Europe
Bologna continue their impressive rise in Serie A, sitting 5th with 24 points, firmly in the race for European qualification. Their recent form has been outstanding — 7 wins and 3 draws in their last 10 matches, remaining unbeaten throughout this stretch. Several of those victories came with dominant scorelines.
In their latest match, Bologna exploded at home with a 4–1 win over Salzburg, showcasing powerful attacking form and a strong home-field advantage. 🔥
In terms of squad strength, goalkeeper Ravaglia has been reliable, while defenders Miranda, Lucumí, and Heggem have all maintained excellent form. The midfield trio of Zortea, Pobega, and Ferguson provides control and structure, dictating the pace of the game. Up front, Bernardeschi, Ødegaard, Orsolini, and Dallinga contribute multiple scoring threats, making Bologna’s attack highly unpredictable.
However, the team isn’t completely free from injury concerns. Bonifazi, Freuler, Cambiaghi, Lo, Skorupski, and Immobile are all sidelined. Still, the core lineup remains largely intact, and overall performance hasn’t been heavily affected.
Cremonese: Struggling and Hit by Injuries
Cremonese sit 11th with 14 points, a respectable position but clearly a tier below Bologna in terms of overall quality. Their recent form has been worrying — just 1 win, 5 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 games. They are currently on a three-match losing streak, and those defeats came against strong opponents such as Roma and Juventus, exposing defensive weaknesses. 😣
Their squad includes solid names like goalkeeper Audero and defenders Bianchetti, Baschirotto, and Terracciano, while in midfield and attack they rely on Bondo, Vandeputte, Payero, Valeri, and Bonazzoli. But the team’s depth has taken a hit with multiple absentees: Colocolo, Mumbagné, Zerbin, and Faye are all out, further weakening an already stretched lineup.
With both form and fitness declining, Cremonese face a tough challenge away from home.
Match Outlook: Bologna Hold All the Advantages
Whether it's standings, recent momentum, home performance, or squad stability, Bologna clearly possess the upper hand. Cremonese, on the other hand, arrive with poor form, defensive issues, and notable injuries.
Bologna are expected to dominate possession, create more clear chances, and control the tempo from start to finish. Everything points toward a strong home performance from the hosts. ✅
Recommendation: Home Win (Bologna)
