This looks a tough one to call this weekend with both sides coming into this one of the back of positive results. They look very evenly matched on paper and with them side by side in the table; this is a massive game. I know it's early on in the season, but getting one over on opponents that are realistically going to be close to you come the end of the season is important. For me, the lack of foals for Sassuolo home and away really worries me. I don't see where the goals are going to come from and as we all know, goals are needed to win games.

Bologna will go into this one fired up and confident they can get a positive result after holding one of the leagues best teams to a draw during the week. Whenever these two sides have played, it has always been very close. In fact, in six of the seven times, they have played the scoreline has been separated by no more than one goal once again showing how evening matched they are. I can't see there being many goals this weekend, but it will defiantly be a close encounter.

Draw - 23/10

Under 2.5 goals - 3/4
