Bologna, despite failing to win the Supercoppa, haven't been affected in terms of team morale. The coaching staff and players are accepting of the result, especially given their semi-final victory over Inter Milan, which is a source of pride. Bologna will need to adjust to the absence of key players, with both Bernardeschi and Cambiaghi unavailable due to injury and illness respectively. Sassuolo suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Torino, ending their unbeaten run after securing four points against Fiorentina and Milan. Considering Bologna's recent travel for the Supercoppa in Saudi Arabia, the handicap of -0.5 is a significant one. European data shows that the major bookmakers have the home win at under 1.90, showing caution regarding a Bologna victory. In terms of overall strength, Bologna is still considered superior to Sassuolo, and they will be eager to secure points as they compete for a Champions League spot. Prediction: Bologna -0.5
