Fiorentina vs Bologna prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Fiorentina host Bologna at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Serie A on Sunday, with both sides being in similar form of late.

Fiorentina are currently 8th in the league, four points off the top 6. Vincenzo Italiano’s side have faltered of late and are winless in their last three games across all competitions. They will look to bounce back with a win against Bologna on Sunday.

Bologna are 12th in the table, ten points behind their opponents. Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side have only managed to win one of their last five games and will hope to turn things around with a win against Fiorentina on Sunday.

Both sides will want to win the game and that should make for an interesting matchup.

Fiorentina vs Bologna Head-to-Head

Fiorentina have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides and are unbeaten in their last five meetings, having won two of them.

Fiorentina came away as 3-2 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Goals from Youssef Maleh, Cristiano Biraghi and Dusan Vlahovic were enough to secure all three points on the night. Meanwhile, Musa Barrow and Aaron Hickey got on the scoresheet for Bologna.
