Zirkzee is in his second season at Bologna and has been receiving compliments for his performance since the beginning of the season. However, the goals were slow to come, but that's starting to change. Zirkzee has found the net twice in the last three matches.

The young forward provided the opening goal away at Sassuolo just three minutes into the match. Bologna odds and betting tips coach Motta was pleased with the way it happened. 'It was an excellent goal from a player with extraordinary qualities. He scored a similar goal in training. Joshua is very talented, but I want to emphasize that he also works very hard for it.'

Zirkzee himself, after the match, doesn't focus on himself but rather on the unwavering support of the fans. 'They were incredible today. We would have liked to win for them. The supporters follow us in large numbers everywhere and made their voices heard throughout the entire ninety minutes. However, today, we were lacking a bit of luck in some instances.'
