Team News

Brescia
Bologna
  • The signing of Mario Balotelli was expected to generate an abundance of options in attack, but his suspension combined with Ernesto Torregrossa's injury have caused the opposite problem.
  • Florian Ayé is therefore expected to play alongside Alfredo Donnarumma up front.
  • Danilo is out with a muscular problem and will be replaced by Mattia Bani in defence.
  • It's the usual doubt up front between Mattia Destro and Federico Santander, with the latter expected to sit out.

Prediction

  • Brescia won at Cagliari in their first game back in Serie A, then lost by only one goal in San Siro against Milan. This will be their first home game after their promotion, which means the atmosphere should be loud.
  • Bologna have obtained four points in their first two games, but since they have faced Verona and SPAL, they could have probably done better. Sinisa Mihajlovic has resumed the treatment and his presence on the bench is uncertain.
  • Brescia manager Eugenio Corini has proved he has a plan for his team, while Sinisa Mihajlovic has improved Bologna's style after taking over last season. This should be a balanced game in which both sides will be focused on not making mistakes.
