Match Preview – 14:00 Kick-Off at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence

8th placed Fiorentina are unbeaten at home this season in Serie A, a record only shared by league leaders and current champions Juventus. Under Paulo Sousa, the Stadio Artemio Franchi has become a veritable fortress, though their split of 7 wins and 7 draws at home doesn’t come close to Juventus perfect 15 wins out of 15 games home record.

After failing to win in 7 Serie A games between the end of January and the beginning of March, Bologna have turned the corner with 2 straight wins over Sassuolo and Chievo. The Rossoblu currently reside in 13th position 14 points behind their opponents on Sunday.

Fiorentina have also won 2 on the bounce and they are unbeaten in 4 overall. Fiorentina have beaten Bologna in 4 of their last 5 meetings. In the reverse fixture in October, a solitary Nikola Kalinic goal was enough to give Fiorentina the 3 points. The Croatian is La Viola’s leading scorer this season with 14 goals and he has hit 4 goals in his last 5 league outings, including 2 last minute winners in each of Fiorentina’s last couple of fixtures.

Fiorentina v Bologna Predictions

Although Bologna have had a small upturn in form, they have won just 3 times away from home all season with 2 of those victories coming against Serie A whipping boys and relegation certainties Pescara and Crotone. The significant gap between Fiorentina and Bologna in the table is telling. There might not be many goals, but a home win is on the cards. With the home side on a run of 3 clean sheets in a row, Ladbrokes give Fiorentina odds of 11/8 for to win to nil on Sunday and that’s an excellent price. They also give Bologna odds of 6/1 to win and 3/1 for the draw, but those odds are long for a reason.
