Fiorentina have not been enjoying the best of seasons this campaign, languishing in 15^th place and are involved in a relegation dog-fight.

Just four points clear of the drop zone, the visiting contingent are desperate for points and will head into this game with every intention of causing a major upset against Bologna.

An entertaining and enthralling game on the cards, expect both sides to breach the other, at least once, before the end of the ninety minutes.

Bologna vs Fiorentina Team News

Bologna have been on a roll in recent weeks recording back-to-back victories in their previous two Serie A games to climb up the ladder into 10^th place. A hard-fought 2-1 victory over Atalanta on home turf followed by a 3-2 win over Leece on the road have given this Bologna side a huge lift.

They have picked up ten points from their previous five league outings and will be looking to extend their winning streak when they take on struggling Fiorentina on Monday.

Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men have managed a decent record at Renato Dall’Ara so far this season, registering three wins, two draws and a further three defeats on this ground. In fact, these cluster of players have been scoring and conceding goals at the same rate – 1.63 goals per match.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, have been really mediocre so far, struggling to grind out impressive results in most of their Serie A games this season. Their dreadful seven-game winless run ultimately led to the sack of former manager Vincenzo Montella.

Last time out on home turf, they were sent to the cleaners by a rampant Roma side who put four goals past sorry La Viola. Fiorentina were so disappointing that they could not seem to get past the Roma midfield.

That heavy loss happened to be the last straw for Vincenzo Montella as he was kicked out of the club after the game, with the board appointing 55-year-old Giuseppe Iachini as replacement. The club’s board decided to overlook Luciano Spalletti for the position despite his availability.

Iachini has become a household name in Serie B over the years having masterminded the promotion of four different sides to the Italian top-flight – Chievo, Brescia, Sampdoria and Palermo. However, the Italian tactician has little or no experience in the Serie A.

La Viola have managed two wins, two draws and four defeats on their travels this season, averaging 1.38 goals per bout whilst conceding 1.75 goals down the other end of the pitch. They have lost their last three away games in a row.

Given that the home side have scored at least two goals in each of their last five league games while the visiting contingent have conceded a whopping fourteen goals in their last six games, expect I Veltri to register no less than two goals in this fixture.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Bologna: Mitchell Dijks, Ladislav Krejci.

Fiorentina: Franck Ribéry.
