As Bologna prepares to face Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Europa League, Italiano warns that the squad is “paying a heavy price” for their recent performances. The match is scheduled to take place at the TSC Arena in Backa Topola, kicking off at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET).
Current Standings and Future Prospects
Despite a challenging season, Bologna has secured a place in the playoffs. However, the team still harbors hopes of finishing in the top eight for direct access to the Round of 16. “We have a small chance of getting into the top eight, but we’re preparing for the playoffs,” Italiano mentioned to Sky Sport Italia.
Disappointing Recent Form
The 2026 season has not been kind to Bologna, as they have recorded just one victory, three draws, and four defeats across all competitions. Recently, they squandered a 2-0 lead against Genoa, ultimately losing 3-2. This loss underscores the critical need to address their on-field mistakes.
