Bologna will be looking to extend their unbeaten home record in the Serie A this season and keep their title chase when they welcome a struggling Cremonese side to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Monday.
The Rossoblu head into the game on a five-game unbeaten run and the league and are also undefeated on their home ground this season. They have secured four wins and one draw in their last five games, having recently claimed a 4-1 victory over Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League, extending their unbeaten run.
For their opponent, Cremonese, they have struggled for consistency, managing only one win, one draw and losing three games in a row in their last five matches. They suffered a 3-1 loss at home to Roma last time out in the Serie A.

Player to watch: Riccardo Orsolini
Riccardo Orsolini is Bologna's key player to watch in this Serie A match. Operating from the right flank, the Italian winger has been the creative driving force for the home side this season, consistently delivering goals and assists.
With five goals and one assist to his name this season, he has demonstrated sharp and dangerous form. We expect him to wreak havoc in the box and pose a constant threat to the Cremonese defence.
