On Monday, March 6, eleventh-placed Torino will play eighth-placed Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in a Serie A matchup in the middle of the table. The hosts have lost three league games and are coming off a 4-2 loss on Tuesday (February 28) to fierce rivals Juventus.
Yann Karamoh and Antonio Sanabria gave Torino the lead twice in the second half, but Juventus held on for an impressive victory. Despite losing their previous three league games, Torino has scored twice in their last two games. They haven’t lost to Bologna in three home games.
In contrast, Bologna has won consecutive games since losing to Monza 1-0 at home in February. Riccardo Orsolini’s goal in the 76th minute gave them a 1-0 home victory over Inter Milan in their previous outing.
Torino will move into the top half of the standings with a victory, and Bologna will need to win to stay in the top ten.

Torino vs Bologna Team news :
Ivan Juric is likely to make some changes to his Torino team after their derby defeat last time out, likely replacing at least one wingback. As club captain Ricardo Rodriguez is demoted to the bench, Ola Aina returns from a one-game suspension to compete with Mergim Vojvoda for a spot in the starting XI.
Ivan Ilic and Karol Linetty are expected to remain together in midfield as Samuele Ricci serves his suspension after being booked as a substitute against Juventus. Yann Karamoh ought to start in place of lone striker Antonio Sanabria with Nikola Vlasic, Valentino Lazaro, David Zima, and Pietro Pellegri all out with injuries.
The latter has scored against Bologna in each of his last two Serie A outings, and on Tuesday, he also matched his career-high with six league goals. Marko Arnautovic, Bologna’s main frontman, could start in attack for the Felsinei after recovering from an injury that kept him out of several recent games, including the win over his former club Inter.
However, Joshua Zirkzee is also back in action and provides Thiago Motta with an additional option to consider. Musa Barrow is more likely to be kept, however. In Europe’s top five leagues in 2023, Riccardo Orsolini, a certain starter on the right wing, has scored the most goals of any Italian player (five). He has also scored against Torino in two of his last three league games, both as a substitute.
