Bologna vs Spal Prediction & Betting tips
Where SPAL was relegated for a long time last season, Bologna did well by occupying 12th place right before the end of the competition. Only on the last day of play did it drop three places. Which of these two teams does the season start well?
Bologna:
Bologna lost three important players and the question is how this will be taken care of in the new season. With Adam Masina, Federico Di Francesco and Simone Verdi both the main defender, first goalkeeper and top scorer leave in one summer. The new striker is Diego Falcinelli, he only scored twice during the season. Federico Santander also came from Copenhagen, scoring fourteen times there, but now has to show it at a higher level.
Filipo Inzaghi is the new coach of Bologna, after a few years in the Serie B and C with Venezia we see him back in the highest division. In the most recent friendly match against Nurnberg, his team did well and managed to end the match with 1-0 win by a goal from Rodrigo Palacio, perhaps he can take over the scoring role of Simone Verdi, as he did at the beginning of this decade for Genoa and Inter did. In the Coppa Italia, Falcinelli and Palacio got the chance to attack, but the team won after goals of Blerim Dzemaili and Mitchell Dijks.
SPAL:
SPAL found fifteen rounds of the 38 rounds last season in the relegation zone, and it was thirteen weeks just above the mark at seventeen, where it also ended. Surviving another season will be difficult, given that all PhD students seem to have a chance against this team. SPAL has in any case done good business in the summer, six players were attracted while no significant players left. Jasmin Kurtic, Alberto Paloschi and Bartosz Salamon were rented last year and are now definitively enrolled, so they do not have to get used to Ferrara. SPAL has also entered into new rent-buy constructions and thus comes across Andrea Petagna, who belonged to the European Championships under 21 at the European Championships last year. Furthermore, former Arsenal player Johan Djourou was transferred free to add experience to the defense.
In the Coppa Italia SPAL played last weekend against Spezia from the Serie B. In that match the new mercenary Petagna was immediately important, he made the only goal and made sure that SPAL won a lap.
