Although Bologna has been closer to a third goal, they control possession and face no pressure in their own defensive zone, they can’t afford to let their guard down because if FCSB manages to string together consecutive passes and get near their goal, they could start to struggle a bit. For now, that hasn’t happened, and the Italian club is winning comfortably.
Bologna still has complete control of the match, having made a couple more forays with well-placed thru balls against an FCSB defense that doesn’t know how to position itself properly or contain the Italian club’s effectiveness, which shows no sign of slowing down and has a complete monopoly on the game.
FSCB can’t even string together three passes in a row and remains very passive, even when defending, against a Bologna side that has all the initiative and keeps pressing to score a third goal that would give them some breathing room to win the match.
Bologna isn’t letting up or slowing down the pace of the game, because they want a third goal that will give them more confidence in securing the win, while FCSB hasn’t reacted and remains very passive in midfield, where the Italian side has outplayed them from the start.
FCSB has started a bit more passively, waiting to see what Bologna will offer; for now, Bologna controls possession and has had a couple of forays toward the Bucharest club’s goal, tho FCSB isn’t suffering and both sides are still sizing each other up.
In the opening minutes of the match, Bologna is dictating possession and looking to initiate offensive plays, while FCSB has set up a medium-low block from the outset to ensure defensive solidity and deny the Italian club any opportunities, given their potentially potent attacking arsenal.
The match kicks off at the National Arena in Bucharest, where FCSB hopes its game plan of defending well and looking for quick counterattacks will trouble a slightly more offensive Bologna side, allowing them to reach at least seven points in the UEFA Europa League group stage.
