✅ Stats before the game: Sassuolo lost each of the matches in the first round of the last two Serie A championships against Bologna without scoring, with Alessio Dionisi on the bench, after having been defeated only once in all seven previous matches (W4, D2) played in the first half of the major tournament against the Emilians. Sassuolo has conceded goals in all nine Serie A home matches against Bologna; among the teams faced at least five times at home in the top division, only against Napoli have the neroverdi played more matches without ever managing to keep a clean sheet (10 matches against the Neapolitans). Sassuolo have lost two of their last three league matches (1N), after having won three of their previous four (1L); in 2023, no team has suffered more defeats than the neroverdi in Serie A (15, equal to Empoli). Bologna have drawn all four away games played in this championship and could score five “X” signs in the first five away games of the season for the first time in their history in Serie A; more generally, only four teams have drawn all the first five matches away from home in a single top tournament: Juventus (1980/81), Perugia (1979/80), Napoli (1974/75) and Turin (1973/74).
