Fiorentina, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Lazio will be viewed as a positive outcome for Fiorentina and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Lazio's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Vincenzo Italiano will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. He will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 8 of their 10 this season.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Spezia. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Spezia who had 6 attempts and 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 17 of their 20 league matches this season.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Marko Arnautović will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Fiorentina in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Bologna.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Bologna.
Fiorentina will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Rossoblu at Stadio Artemio Franchi. Rossoblu have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Fiorentina.
On home soil Fiorentina have managed to keep their visitors at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Bologna a win against them for 11 games in a row.
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Arthur Cabral (Hamstring), Gaetano Castrovilli (Calf), Lucas Martínez Quarta (Knee) and Riccardo Sottil (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thiago Motta has a number of injury concerns in his Bologna squad to contend with: Marko Arnautović (Foot), Kevin Bonifazi (Tendon), Lorenzo De Silvestri (Physical discomfort), Gary Medel (Muscle) and Nicola Sansone (Finger)
