Bologna vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2022-11-05 11:30.
Bologna boss Thiago Motta was up against it from the outset after he was chosen to replace popular predecessor SiniĆĄa MihajloviÄ, and his quest to win supporters over wasnât helped by a winless four-game start (D1, L3), something that led to unrest and protests among the fan base. Such turmoil now looks like a thing of the past though after his sideâs recent 2-1 come-from-behind win against Monza which extended their competitive winning run to three matches, lifting them into Serie Aâs (SA) midtable.
With joint-league top-scorer before this round Marko ArnautoviÄ possibly set to miss a second straight game through injury, Motta will be looking for more influence from his other attackers. One could be Riccardo Orsolini who became Bolognaâs first Italian player to score a league goal this term, and his decisive strike against Monza means his team have now scored exactly two goals in three straight SA matches, after failing to score more than once in the three league games prior.
On a three-game winning streak of their own, Torino will be flying high after beating defending champions AC Milan last Sunday 2-1 thanks to two first-half strikes within 120 seconds of each other. Their coach Ivan JuriÄ was sent off for protests after Milanâs goal but understandably didnât seem too hung up post-victory, admitting the anger had subsided and he was âhappy nowâ.
After such a standout triumph, itâs easy to see why he would be, and now to build on that the visitors will try to make it six wins from their last nine SA away games (L3). While thereâs been an âall or nothingâ feel to those outings, that could change here if the previous H2H history is anything to go by, with the last five H2Hs at Stadio Renato DallâAra all finishing level!
Players to watch: Bolognaâs last goal-scorer Orsolini also netted their only strike against Torino last term, whilst Aleksey Miranchuk celebrated his 50th SA appearance with a decisive first-half goal for the visitors against Milan last time out.
Hot stat: Just one of the last six H2Hs have witnessed 3+ goals scored, but there have been at least six yellow cards in five of them!
