The Rossoblu should be safe from relegation this season. However, they cannot afford to rest until they are mathematically safe.
The home team’s recent form in Serie A has been poor, as they have won just one of their last five league games, suffering just three defeats in the process. Last time out, they suffered a 5-0 defeat at Atalanta.
The game followed a familiar high-scoring trend for Bologna of late in Serie A, as five of their last eight matches have produced over 2.5 goals scored.
Bologna have been relatively difficult to beat at home of late, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last six league matches at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
Fiorentina are in the perilous position of 16th in Serie A, just three points above the relegation zone. The Viola’s recent league form has been poor, as the visitors have won just one of their previous six matches in the Italian top-flight.
In fact, the team from Florence have won just three of their last 14 games in Serie A.
One of the main factors in Fiorentina’s recent poor results has been poor defensive displays, as the Viola have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 outings in the Italian top-flight.
The visitors have been poor on their travels of late in Serie A, as they have won just two of their last nine away games.
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which would still leave Fiorentina looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone.
