Bologna-Sassuolo (kick-off at 20.45) is a match valid for the 15th day of the Serie A championship, on the field for the last round of the 2022 calendar year before the break for the World Cup in Qatar.
Fresh from Wednesday night’s 6-1 defeat against Inter at San Siro, Thiago Motta is yet to do without Bonifazi. Cambiaso stops in the warm-up: Lykogiannis plays in his place. Dionisi comes from the draw wrested at home to Roma: he can’t count on the suspended Maxime Lopez in addition to the injured Muldur, Romagna and Defrel.
The result unlocks in favor of the hosts in the half hour, when Lucumi serves the opening ball to Aebischer, author of his first goal in Serie A.
At the start of the second half, Sassuolo returned to the field with Matheus Henrique replacing Thorstvedt, meanwhile Berardi warmed up. Bologna doubles with Arnautovic on an assist from Soriano. Dionisi tries to shake things up with two other substitutions: Berardi and Alvarez they take over from Obiang and Traoré.
