- Venue: Renato Dall'Ara
Torino simply cannot crack the Bologna code anymore. Honestly, watching them try to break a painful six-match winless run against I Rossoblù feels like groundhog day. I’m still thinking about that gritty 2-1 Bologna victory last February where they completely shut down Torino's late fightback. Pure tactical mastery. Now, Torino heads into Bologna desperate to break the curse. It's a massive mountain to climb. Bologna hasn't won at home in five straight league games, while the visitors look totally devoid of ideas here. Will the home fortress hold, or can Torino finally shock everyone? Let’s find some betting value.

Bologna has dominated the last 10 meetings with 5 wins to Torino’s 2, alongside 3 draws. It's a complete shift in power. None of Torino’s two wins were on the road. The average goals per game in that span sat at a tight 1.80.
Bologna team overview
Bologna enters this one on the back of a tough 1-0 away defeat against Napoli. I Rossoblù have had an absolute nightmare beginning to their season.
Newly appointed coach Raffaele Palladino was tossed straight into the fiery furnace following Domenico Tedesco’s rapid sacking, and fans are desperate for a reaction. Last season was a historic peak, with the club remarkably battling to the Europa League quarter-finals.
Fast forward to today, and reality has hit hard. They have picked up just 1 point from their opening 4 Serie A matches. Their home ground hasn't offered any safety blanket.
They remain on a five-match winless run here after a bitter opening loss to Lazio and a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. Forward Roberto Piccoli remains the only real shining light, netting his sole goal of the campaign against Sassuolo. Unfortunately, star winger Riccardo Orsolini is out with a hamstring issue.

Torino team overview
Torino prepares for this one on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Roma. Il Toro has endured a deeply frustrating, inconsistent opening chapter to the current campaign.
Newly appointed head coach Ignazio Abate is struggling to find the winning formula following an underwhelming previous season where the squad finished standardly mid-table.
This year, they have picked up just 3 points from their opening 4 Serie A fixtures, suffering three painful losses. Their away form paints a similar picture.
Torino boast just one win from their last five league games on the road. Ché Adams has been the ultimate main man, leading the team with 2 league goals.
Tragically, he has just been sidelined with a thigh strain. I honestly don't know how they will replace his clinical edge up top, and with Pietro Pellegri also struggling with fitness, their attack looks dangerously thin.

Prediction
Everything points to a complete snooze-fest here. With Bologna firing blanks in three of their opening four matches and Torino losing their only clinical outlet in Ché Adams, neither side possesses any real teeth up front. I honestly can't see where the creativity comes from. It's going to be a cagey, frustrating battle of low confidence. Back the 0-0 goalless draw to cash in.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only four of the last 14 meetings between Bologna and Torino finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Torino have scored more than once in just one of their five competitive games this season.
- Bologna failed to score in three of their four Serie A games so far this season.
