Bologna v Monza

Serie A, Regular season, Matchday 10. Kick-off Saturday 31 October, 14:00 UK time, at Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Nothing to take on Bologna against Monza. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Expect Bologna to break down a collapsing Monza defense. Monza are heading in the wrong direction, giving up high-quality opportunities while struggling to create anything meaningful across their last four games. They allow six or more shots on target in four of six outings, resulting in four defeats over that span. Bologna have grabbed three wins from six, but an oddly poor home record alongside a missing chunk of goals due to Orsolini's injury leaves them vulnerable. Monza's only real threat comes from Gustavo Varela, who has ten goals this season and scored in three consecutive matches. Containing him will decide this match.
