Bologna vs Monza Match Preview

Bologna welcome Monza to the Renato Dall'Ara for matchday 22 of the Italian Serie A.

Another positive result for Bologna in the last games, the previous matchday was against Fiorentina away from home with 2-1. They took the lead after completing the first quarter of the match with a penalty kick, but conceded the equalizer almost immediately. In the second half they started by scoring a second goal early on, and although they came under pressure from the home team, they held on and kept the three points.

This was Bologna's 3rd win in the last 4 league matches, they reached 29 points, tied in 8th place with Udinese and very close the 7th place which under conditions can give a European ticket.

Third consecutive draw for Monza after 2-2 at home against Sampdoria. They found themselves behind in the score at 12' but managed to level the match at 32'. In the replay, they again found themselves chasing the score but avoided defeat in the dying minutes of stoppage time with a penalty kick.

So Monza extended their unbeaten streak to 7 matches and with 27 points are in 11th place in the standings, minus 4 from 7th place.

I expect an interesting match between two teams that are doing very well in the league and coming from positive results. Both like offensive football and score easily, I expect something similar in the match between them. My pick: Bologna – Sampdoria Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.10.
