Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction
Sassuolo have good players in their ranks and are yet to hit their stride in the Serie A this year. The Neroverdi presented a robust front against AS Roma this week and will take plenty of heart from their performance.
Bologna were thoroughly outplayed by Inter Milan in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend. Sassuolo are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
