Good Attacking Performance

This has been a good season so far for Fiorentina, in terms of goals scored (46). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Cristiano Biraghi (3), Krzysztof Piatek (3), and Giacomo Bonaventura (1). Fiorentina have conceded 37 goals.

Fiorentina may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.

Bologna have suffered at the hands of Torino and Salernitana in their previous two matches, with two successive draws. They go into this game with the hope of taking all three points.

Also, Sinisa Mihajlovic knows that a run of 10 losses in 19 fixtures for his Bologna side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. They currently stand twelfth in the League, with 33 points for a total of 9 wins, 12 losses and 6 draws having won nine fixtures, drawn six matches, and lost 12 games.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to three victories, three darts, and seven defeats, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Bologna as they travel once more.

A win in this fixture, would take Bologna’s points from 33 to 36, so far this season.

Bologna are missing eight players through injury or illness. This will affect Sinisa Mihajlovic’s selection choices significantly.
