The key matchup to watch here is Bologna's midfield general, Lewis Ferguson, against Cremonese's tenacious ball-winner, Michele Castagnetti. Bologna has been on a tear, picking up 10 points in their last five Serie A matches, including a dominant 3-0 win over Sampdoria. Cremonese, meanwhile, snapped a six-game winless streak with a surprise 3-2 victory against Sassuolo last week.
Here's the thing: Bologna at home is a different animal, and Thiago Motta has them playing some inspired football. They're a disciplined side that rarely gives up easy chances, allowing just 37 goals all season. I'm taking Bologna to win this one comfortably, 2-0.
