----------------------------------------
Bologna welcome Sassuolo to Stadio Renato Dall’Ara for a regional derby as they look to snap a three-game winless run before the new year. Vincenzo Italiano’s side sit four points above the visitors in the Serie A standings. A four-match unbeaten streak against Sassuolo gives Bologna added confidence heading into their final game of 2025.

Team Analysis:
Bologna enter their final Serie A match of 2025 seeking to halt a recent slide after a strong early-season run faded in December. Despite reaching the Supercoppa final, Vincenzo Italiano’s side have struggled for league points and now face pressure from teams around them. Sassuolo arrive in steady form after a solid away draw at Milan, hoping to end the year positively despite a poor recent record in this derby.

Player Situation:
Bologna will be without several key players, including Torbjorn Heggem due to suspension and others sidelined by injury, but captain Riccardo Orsolini remains a major attacking threat. Orsolini has scored six goals this season, with four at home, making him a key figure at the Dall’Ara. Sassuolo also face absences, including Domenico Berardi and potentially Andrea Pinamonti, increasing the importance of other players stepping up in attack.

Result Prediction:
With key Sassuolo players Berardi and Pinamonti likely absent, Bologna have a strong chance to secure maximum points. The home side aim to capitalize on their rivals’ weakened attack. A win would mark Bologna’s third victory in five meetings against Sassuolo.

Predicted Result: Bologna 2-1 Sassuolo.
