This match between Bologna and Sassuolo presents an intriguing tactical battle, particularly focusing on Bologna's midblock defensive structure and how they aim to exploit Sassuolo's vulnerabilities. Bologna, currently higher in the league standings, has demonstrated a solid defensive setup, making them a difficult team to break down. Their recent form at home, coupled with a goal difference of +10, highlights their defensive resilience and their ability to control matches. Bologna's midblock is likely to be the key to their success in this encounter. They are expected to allow Sassuolo to have possession in certain areas of the pitch, especially in their own half, but they will be compact and organized when the ball enters their midfield or attacking third. This defensive approach aims to force Sassuolo into low-percentage passes and to stifle their attacking creativity. Bologna will prioritize denying space in central areas and forcing play wide, where they can utilize their fullbacks and wingers to win back possession or slow down Sassuolo's attacks. The effectiveness of Bologna's midblock will depend on their ability to manage the transitions. Winning the ball back and quickly launching counter-attacks is crucial. Bologna will be looking to capitalize on any turnovers from Sassuolo, and they'll likely focus on quick, direct passes to their forwards to catch Sassuolo's defense off guard. Sassuolo, despite their attacking potential, has shown some inconsistency, which Bologna will look to exploit. Sassuolo, on the other hand, will need to be patient and creative to break down Bologna's defense. They must be able to move the ball quickly, create passing lanes, and exploit any space that Bologna leaves. However, with Bologna's solid defensive organization and considering Sassuolo's struggles away from home, the smart money is on Bologna to secure a victory. The Over/Under on goals seems to be set at 2.5 and considering Bologna's defensive record, it's wise to lean towards the Under. Overall, I predict a Home Win with Bologna covering the -0.5 Asian Handicap, and with the total goals being Under 2.5.
