Ah, the beautiful game! We've got the crusty pizza joint that is Bologna going head to head with the Frankfurters, I mean, Borussia Dortmund. I tell you folks, this is going to be quite a culinary clash on the pitch.
Between the sticks, Dortmund are relying on Gregor Kobel, wielding a respectable 7.34 rating with 19 saves. Bologna have vested their faith in L'ultimo Frigorifero, Łukasz Skorupski, who tops his counterpart with a chilling 7.60 rating and 21 saves.
However, if you're looking for someone to step up their game, it's Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy. This lad is a razor, cutting through defenses with an impressive 6 goals. Not to be outdone, the teenage dream Karim Adeyemi is another player you'd bet your bottom dollar on. 3 goals and an 8.70 rating is nothing to scoff at.
Moving to Bologna town, Jhon Lucumí's locking down the defense, but chipped in with a goal, as you do. Charalampos Lykogiannis, mediocre in his attack with 0 goals; however, he holds a steady record in the back with a 7.17 rating.
Now, we cannot ignore the fact that Dortmund's Ramy Bensebaini and Niklas Süle are out with injuries. That's like throwing a birthday party but the cake doesn't show up.
Moving on to previous encounters, Dortmund is coming in with a 4-0-2 record, showing much better promise than Bologna's rather empty pantry of 0-2-4.
So putting all the pieces of this jigsaw together, the pepperoni-packing power of Dortmund should theoretically squash the cheesy dreams of Bologna. If my gut is telling me right, and it usually is when it comes to food... I mean football, I'd say Dortmund's got this one in the bag.
