Bologna vs Fiorentina Prediction & Match Preview

• Bologna go into this on the back of nine wins and a draw in the last ten home affairs across competitions.
• Fiorentina suffered successive away losses to the likes of Sassuolo and Lecce.
• Bologna bagged four goals in each of the last two home outings in the league.

Bologna will continue their push for the Champions League spots on Wednesday evening. They play host to direct rivals Fiorentina in the postponed game of Matchday No 21 in Italian Serie A. Both outfits were super-efficient at the weekend as we might be in for a mouth-watering game at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Bologna made it back-to-back league wins with a 4-0 drubbing of Lecce on Sunday afternoon. They controlled the happenings on the pitch from the first to the final whistle on the occasion. It was the second straight match in which I Rossoblu notched four goals. Thiago Motta’s men climbed to fifth position in the league table. They are three points below fourth-placed Atalanta and two points above seventh-placed Fiorentina.

The visitors will also enter this tie in high spirits. They put five goals past Frosinone in a commanding victory in the first game of Sunday’s Serie A schedule. Vincenzo Italiano’s troops thus bounced back from an unpleasant three-loss thread across competitions. Can they pull off another big result on the back of such a phenomenal attacking showing?

Recent Meetings

Five of the previous seven head-to-head encounters between these rivals saw the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score option coming in.

Bologna vs Fiorentina Prediction

Bologna own one of the best home records in this term of Serie A. They won 9, drew 12, and lost 1 of 12 league fixtures on the home patch so far in the season. I Rossoblu are currently on a run of nine wins and a draw in the last ten home outings across competitions. Fiorentina suffered successive road defeats to Sassuolo and Lecce in the previous two away outings in the league. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in five straight matches in all competitions. The value is decent with the home win pick at the 2.37 odds.

This match has goals in it. Bologna notched four goals in two consecutive home matches in the league. Each of the last two Fiorentina’s Serie A affairs produced at least five goals. We’ve seen three or more goals in five of the previous seven head-to-head outings between these counterparts. The Over 2.5 goals FT pick is a fantastic betting option at the attractive 2.20 odds.
