Bologna v Fiorentina

Bologna vs Fiorentina Preview

Bologna bounced back from their recent 3-0 defeat away from home at Lazio in their last two games as Sunday afternoon's hosts have collected four points from their last two games overall in Serie A which has placed Bologna in eighth place in the table and five points adrift of the top six clubs.

Fiorentina captured a ninth win in 10 games in the Italian top flight last weekend when they registered a 1-0 home win against Cagliari which in turn maintained Fiorentina's position in fourth place in the Serie A table and hopes will be high that they can add to their points tally this Sunday.

Bologna have kept up their bid for a possible top six finish in this season's Serie A campaign as the hosts have collected four wins out of their last six matches overall which include victories gained over Cagliari, Lecce, Roma and Venezia respectively which will also give the hosts confidence ahead of this upcoming encounter.

The wider picture shows Bologna have suffered just the one defeat in their last 12 matches overall in the domestic top flight which includes picking up five wins but also involves six draws within this period as well.

As such, it may be more prudent to concentrate on the goals market for this upcoming fixture as seven of Bologna's last 12 games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Fiorentina are currently enjoying a purple patch of form in the Italian top flight which is rather apt as the visitors' nickname are The Purples or The Violets and having racked up nine wins from their previous 10 league matches, Raffaele Palladino's side will also be brimming with confidence.

Four of Fiorentina's nine wins have been registered on their travels with victories gained at Lecce, Genoa, Torino and Como, while the wider picture shows La Viola have been handed just a single defeat throughout the whole of this season's Serie A campaign to date.

The goals market also looks a promising prospect where Fiorentina are concerned as the visitors have scored at least once in each of their last eight matches on the trot and their current form suggests this trend looks set to continue here at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara

Fiorentina have also made big improvements on the road in the domestic top flight as well, as Raffaele Palladino's side have lost just twice in their last 11 away games in Serie A, picking up seven wins and failing to score just once in the process.

Bologna v Fiorentina Verdict

Both Bologna and Fiorentina bring impressive sequences of results of late into this upcoming clash on Sunday afternoon and both sides look set to hit the back of the net in what could prove to be a tightly fought contest.
