Bologna have experienced substantial difficulty in front of goal, failing to score in three of their four Serie A fixtures this season and averaging 0.5 goals per match. Their attacking options are further restricted by injuries to forward A. Dovbyk and winger R. Orsolini. Torino have also shown mixed form in attack and recent head-to-head history shows a strong pattern of tight games, with six of the last ten meetings finishing with under 2.5 goals and an overall average of 1.9 goals per match. A low-scoring encounter is the most probable outcome.

Match preview
Bologna host Torino at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara looking to secure their first league victory of the campaign. The home side sit sixteenth in Serie A with one point from four matches, having scored just two goals across those fixtures and failing to find the net in three separate 1-0 defeats.
Torino enter the contest in fourteenth place with three points. Although they secured a 2-1 away victory against Fiorentina earlier in the campaign, they were defeated 2-0 at home by AS Roma in their most recent fixture and have yet to keep a clean sheet.
Historical meetings between these two sides point towards closely contested, low-scoring encounters. Across the last ten head-to-head fixtures, matches have averaged 1.9 goals, with Bologna remaining unbeaten in their last five home encounters against Torino with three wins and two draws.
