Bologna vs AS Monaco Preview

Bologna

Bologna, who take on AS Monaco on Tuesday, are having a decent season in Serie A, ranking 9th after a difficult start.

However, they have been far from their best in the Champions League, having lost two and drawn one of the three games they have played so far. They will hope that the run changes against Monaco, but the French side is renowned for its shape-shifting abilities.

Bologna have the ability to keep their defensive shape whenever they are put under pressure inside their box, and their attackers like to take a few more touches than they normally should when they are free. If they are able to alter these issues, they might be in with a chance in this game.

AS Monaco

AS Monaco is one of the teams to watch out for in the Champions League this season. They are ranked fourth in the table with 7 points to their name. They have beaten Red Star Belgrade and giants Barcelona while they drew with Dinamo Zagreb.

For Monaco to make it this season, they will have to continue playing out from the back as they usually do. French sides that are not Paris Saint-Germain are rarely known to do well in the Champions League, but Monaco are proving to be the healthy exception to that rule.

Monaco’s wingers like to use the space offered to them by their opposition fullbacks, but the same might not be on the cards in this game on Tuesday. Bologna does not like to extend their fullbacks forward to create attacking chances and asks them to stay put behind instead.

Bologna vs AS Monaco Head-to-Head Statistics

AS Monaco have a good record against Bologna as they won the only game that was played between the two teams in European competitions in the past. The Italian side, however, are unbeaten in all of their 28 matches played at home in European competitions.

This latter statistic is bound to give Bologna a heads-up in this game, and one can expect it to be quite a closely fought one. However, Monaco are known to disrupt statistics and turn things on their head. Nonetheless, it needs reminding that Monaco have won just three out of 15 matches against Italian opponents.

The last time Monaco faced a team from Italy in a European competition, it was Juventus in 2016-17. Both the legs of their encounter with the giants from Turin ended in defeat on that occasion. This time around, however, Adi Hรผtter’s side will want to take all three points against Bologna.

Bologna vs AS Monaco Player Focus

It goes without saying that Monaco’s Breel Embolo is the player to keep an eye out among both teams in this game. His raw speed, accuracy as well as sharpness in front of goal makes him a dangerous contender to deal with, and Bologna’s defenders have to be on their toes at all times to accommodate him.

Bologna vs AS Monaco Tactical Analysis

We can expect a close-fought game given that the two teams are known for their sharpness in midfield and defence. Bologna will have the home team behind them, and this is bound to spur them on to put their best foot forward. For Monaco, the effectiveness of their fullbacks Henrique and Diatta is going to matter a lot.

Bologna will be hampered by quite a few injuries to their side, including that of Martin Erliฤ‡, but their midfielders Moro and Freuler will hope that they are able to disrupt their opponents’ attacking instincts and are able to create balls for their own attackers to try and convert into chances in front of goal instead.

Bologna vs AS Monaco Prediction

  • Football pick: AS Monaco to win.
  • Odds: 2.59 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Bologna 1-2 AS Monaco

AS Monaco have an advantage over Bologna in this game, and they will be expected to get on the scoresheet quickly. While the latter are known to be solid in defence and do not quite get bogged down while creating transitions forward, Monaco might just edge them out when it comes to picking space.

Monaco’s midfielders are also known for their pinpoint accuracy when it comes to making passes, and this comes in handy for them whenever they are faced with opponents who like to press the ball high. Their defensive capabilities, led by the high line they usually keep for the off-side trap, are also helpful on most occasions.

Bologna vs AS Monaco Betting Tip

  • Football Pick: AS Monaco to score in the first half.
  • Odds: 2.04 (22Bet)

Bologna’s defenders will have to mark their opponents tightly in this game and not allow Monaco to run riot whenever they get a whiff of space and taste of the ball. Bologna must also not lose their credo when Monaco try to invert their wing and try to create some space for themselves.

Bologna’s strengths are to stick to playing short passes and giving their opponents something to worry about while trying to break into their half. They will have to keep doing this against Monaco, and bring the latter out of their lair and ask them to take more touches in their own half.

Attacker Breel Embolo will have to be at the top of his game in this game, and for Bologna’s defenders, it will be nothing short of a heroic task to mark him and prevent him from pulling some of them with him to open up chances for his more fancied colleagues in front of goal.
