Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Spezia, 13th position with 4 points and a negative goal difference of -4
Bologna, 16th position with 2 points and a negative goal difference of -3

Spezia and Bologna ended the Serie A Week 5 game with a draw on Sunday 4 September 2022 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Spezia, Italy. Bologna are unbeaten in four Serie A previous matches against Spezia, thanks to a draw followed by three wins – considering the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, the Ligurian one is one of the three teams against which the Emilians have played four games without never lose (like Udinese and Sampdoria).

Bologna opened the score in the 6th minute. Marko Arnautović defeated Spezia goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski with a left footed shot to the center. The assist is by Gary Medel.

✅   Stats before the game: Bologna have won all the last three Serie A matches against Spezia: among the teams currently in the competition, only against Sampdoria (seven), the rossoblùs boast a longer open streak of successes.  Spezia have won only one of their 11 Serie A matches against opponents from Emilia: 2-1 against Sassuolo on 6 February 2021 – five draws and as many defeats complete the set. Spezia had never started a Serie A championship and remained undefeated in their first two home games (1W, 1D) and in general they do not remain three games in a row in the maximum tournament at the Peak without losing since November 2021. Bologna scored two points in the first four days of this championship; the last time the rossoblù team failed to achieve success in their first five Serie A games, they were relegated at the end of the season, in 2013/14.

👉 Lineup SPEZIA (3-5-2): Dragowski; Hristov, Kiwior, Nikolaou; Holm, Bastoni, Bourabia, Kovalenko, Reca; Nzola, Gyasi.

👉 Lineup BOLOGNA (3-4-3): Skorupski; Soumaoro, Medel, Lucumì; De Silvestri, Moro, Schouten, Lykogiannis; Barrow, Arnautovic, Orsolini.
