Fiorentina form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Fiorentina have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stadio Artemio Franchi, but a victory now would be sweet for Fiorentina.
Happy days for Fiorentina in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Juventus (placed 6th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Sensational by Fiorentina last match, beating Juventus away as big underdogs. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Hellas Verona.
The manager C. Prandelli will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lazio in only three days.
The Fiorentina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Fiorentina's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Bologna form and stats
There's been little loot from Bologna's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Serie A. Bologna only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Bologna have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row. Two points from the last two away games for Bologna, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Bologna delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Atalanta (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. A 1-1 draw at Torino's stadium before that.
Bologna's last match (vs Atalanta) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 82nd minute equalizer by Nehuén Paz. The draw against Atalanta came from a losing position. The Bologna manager S. Mihajlović brought on Nehuén Paz as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bologna are hosting Udinese in the Serie A only three days away.
Bologna have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bologna have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
