Bologna 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Bologna are 18th and have not won in five, which for a side that finished eighth on 56 points last season is a considerable shock. Raffaele Palladino’s team have lost 1-0 three times – to Lazio, at Atalanta and at Napoli – and drawn the other two.
Three goals in five games is the lowest total in Serie A. Roberto Piccoli, Federico Bernardeschi and Artem Dovbyk have one each. Bernardeschi and Juan Miranda share the corners with eight apiece. Six conceded is not the problem; Bologna simply cannot score.
Nothing about the defensive numbers suggests a side in trouble, and the margins have been desperately tight – three single-goal defeats. Palladino inherited a squad used to European football and needs a forward to start finishing before the table starts to look genuinely alarming.

Bologna’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Federico Bernardeschi
- Free-Kicks: Emil Holm, Federico Bernardeschi
- Corners: Juan Miranda, Federico Bernardeschi
Juan Miranda has taken 8 of Bologna’s corners to Federico Bernardeschi’s 8. Emil Holm has had one of the direct free-kicks. Bologna are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Federico Bernardeschi, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
