Bologna vs Cosenza Prediction: Red and Blues to face no resistance from Serie B outsider

Sinisa Mihajlovic's Bologna will start the new season with a home match against Cosenza, a team from the lower league, in Coppa Italia. Will the Red and Blues kick off with a solid win? Let's pick a few bets at once. 

Bologna could add players from the Russian league

So far, there are no notable transfers to Bologna during the current transfer window. But the transfer window is still open, so the Red and Blues could still be quite strengthened. Thus, after the transfer of Aleksei Miranchuk from Atalanta to Torino was derailed, the Russian has a chance to end up at Bologna. The Red and Blues seem to comply with the loan conditions that will suit Bergamo. In addition, Roma forward Eldor Shomurodov could also end up at Bologna. The Giallorossi are clearing their squad for Andrea Belotti and are ready to loan the Uzbek forward to another team. 

Cosenza not jumping above their heads

The club has never been on the radar for those not interested in the underground of Italian soccer. No changes are expected in this regard in the near future. Last season Cosenza finished 16th in Serie B and won the right to remain in the country's second division only in the knockout stages. 

Head-to-head encounters

The only time the opponents met was in the 1995/96 Serie B season. Bologna defeated Cosenza in both games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bologna, led by the remarkable Austrian forward Marko Arnautovic, is unlikely to experience any problems in the upcoming game. Cosenza is a Serie B underdog, and it is doubtful that they will be able to find any way to draw against a strongest Serie A mid-tier team even for a draw.

Prediction: Bologna will win.
