Serie A 2024-2025: Torino-Bologna, the likely lineups
The probable lineups
It will be the challenge between Torino and Bologna, scheduled at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 3 p.m., to open the program of matches on Saturday in Serie A: for the granata the goal is to continue the positive series, which began with the draw at home to Genoa (0-0) and the success also away against Empoli (1-0). Bologna, in turn, seeks its sixth consecutive useful result between the league and the Champione League.
Paolo Vanoli, coach of the Granata and former Bologna player, will most likely propose a 3-5-2 with a cautious set-up, with Marcus Pedersen and Borna Sosa on the flanks and the attack entrusted to Che Adams, match-winner against Empoli, and Antonio Sanabria, who is looking for a goal that he has been missing in the league since last Oct. 20 (he signed the momentary 1-1 in the match that was later lost 3-2 in Cagliari).
On the other side Vincenzo Italiano seems to have found the squaring of the circle, after a not easy start: likely the use of a 4-2-3-1 with Freuler and Ferguson as midfielders and an attack shaped on the qualities of Castro, supported by Orsolini, Odgaard and Benjamin Dominguez. Marco Piccinini, from the Forlì section, will referee the match.
