Bologna vs Torino Prediction 19 September 2026
📢 How will the match between Bologna and Torino play out at the Renato Dall'Ara? Neither side can be satisfied with their start to the season - they have 1 and 3 points respectively, and both sit closer to the bottom of the Serie A table. At Bologna, the situation has already led to early changes in the coaching staff, which only underlines the level of pressure. Both teams therefore come into this meeting with an urgent need for points, and another setback could knock their players' confidence further.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have met 36 times in recent years, with the record almost perfectly even: 11 wins for Torino, 10 for Bologna and 15 draws. However, the most recent head-to-head meetings have gone noticeably in Bologna's favour - Torino have not beaten them in six consecutive matches, losing four and drawing two. Last season, Torino came away from the Renato Dall'Ara with a 0-0 draw but lost 1-2 at home.
Head-to-head statistics Bologna - Torino
Bologna Team Overview
🔴 One point and a provisional 16th place - that is Bologna's return after four Serie A rounds. Unsurprisingly, nobody at the club was satisfied with such a start. The board decided to act quickly and have already sacked Domenico Tedesco, who only took charge in the summer. Raffaele Palladino has been appointed in his place. Though it is hard to be too hard on the 41-year-old: with fixtures against Lazio, Atalanta, Sassuolo and Napoli, expecting much was always going to be difficult.
🔵 The final straw was a defeat away at Napoli (0:1). Bologna's start had been promising - they put the ball in the net as early as the seventh minute, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. In terms of the play, however, the red-and-blues looked very poor, with Napoli controlling the game for almost the full 90 minutes. Conceding on 66 minutes felt like a natural outcome of how the match had unfolded. Only towards the end did Bologna improve slightly and attempt to draw level, but they did not have enough for a proper assault on the Napoli goal.

Torino Team Overview
🔴 Torino are not in much better shape. Over four rounds they have managed just one win against three defeats, picking up three points and sitting 14th. On top of that, they have already been knocked out of the Coppa Italia, losing at home to Monza 0-1 in a result that was hard to put down to bad luck - by the run of play, the defeat looked fully deserved.
🟡 In the previous round, Torino lost at home to Roma (0-2). Against a side that has started the season strongly, Ignacio Abate's team had very little to offer. Roma looked sharper, controlled the match better and scored once in the closing stages of each half. If results do not improve quickly, the pressure on Abate will only grow - following Tedesco's dismissal at Bologna, he risks being the next manager to find himself out of a job.

Latest news
Bologna
❌ Bologna have a number of injury problems heading into matchday five. Ukko Happonen is unavailable due to a muscle injury, while Nadir Zortea, Oussama El Azzouzi and Riccardo Orsolini are all continuing their recovery from thigh injuries and are not expected to return until towards the end of September. Artem Dovbyk is also having problems with his thigh, but his involvement in the next match remains in doubt.
Torino
❌ Torino have three injury concerns. Cesare Casadei and Che Adams are recovering from muscular injuries and are expected to return around the end of September. Pietro Pellegrini has resumed training following a cruciate ligament injury, so his return to the pitch is gradually drawing closer.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Both sides have had clear problems in attack so far. Torino have scored just four goals in four league rounds, while Bologna have managed only two - the worst return in Serie A. Both of Bologna's goals came at home against a weak Sassuolo side, in a 2-2 draw. Given the difficulties both teams have had creating and converting chances, there is little reason to expect an open game. Total Goals - Under 2.5 at 1.86* looks a logical choice.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Bologna rarely earn many corners against Torino: in 7 of their last 8 Serie A meetings, they took fewer than five. The most recent encounter was a case in point - Bologna managed just two corners. A similar pattern cannot be ruled out, so Bologna Team Total Corners - Under 4.5 at 2.50* looks an interesting option.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Torino average 0.3 yellow cards per match - the best record in Serie A. A sharp deviation from that figure in the upcoming match seems unlikely, so a bet on Torino Team Total - Under 2 Yellow Cards at 1.64* is worth considering.
* Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Bologna are favourites for this match. But betting on the result is fairly risky when both teams are well short of their best form and neither attack is functioning. On top of that, after a run of poor results, it's unlikely either side will open up and take risks from the off. Nobody wants to lose right now, so we're going with Total Goals - Under 2.5. The expected score is 0-0.
