Team news:  A few key men out for Bologna with striker Joshua Zirkzee and Adama Soumaoro out.  The visitors are without Grigoris Kastanos and Niccolo Pierozzi.

Head-to-head statistics: 7 games – 2 wins Bologna, 4 draws and 1 wins Salernitana.

Betting selection – Odds are very short the home with with 1.25 or 1-4 generally and shortening up. It should be a straightforward win but without top scorer Zirkzee it won’t be a pushover. A -1.5 handicap is a bit high for me. Take Bologna win to nil instead at 1.91 Skybet.
