Our prediction for the match Bologna vs Monaco
Both clubs achieved success last season. “The Red and Blues” were able to “shoot” in the previous cycle, finishing in 5th place (this time, the progress also allowed them to get a ticket to their debut Champions League). “The Monegasques”, having invited Adi Hütter, sharply improved the performance after a break, becoming vice-champion (only PSG scored more points).
Now the French club has had a great start to the new season. The team won 6 out of 7 first rounds of the Ligue 1. Then, there was a decline in October: they did not score against Lille and lost to Nice. “The Rossoblù” were left without a successful coach, Thiago Motta, and leading players, Calafiori and Zirkzee, in the summer. Moreover, Vincenzo Italiano’s wards play in the Serie A mostly in draws, which results in hanging around in the middle of the table.
The French club started with a sensation in the Champions League. They beat Barcelona, even though it quickly ended up with 10 men. Then, however, there was only a 2-2 draw in Zagreb with local Dinamo. Nevertheless, the team crushed Crvena Zvezda – 5-1. The Italians are not making a good debut. They started with a goalless draw with Shakhtar (and with Sudakov’s penalty missed). And then they played with a 0-2 result in England with Liverpool and Aston Villa.
