Fiorentina vs Bologna Prediction and Betting Tips | February 5th 2023
Fiorentina will host Bologna at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday in another round of the Italian Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured a rather underwhelming campaign and have particularly struggled for results since their return to action post-World Cup. They played out a 1-1 draw against Lazio in their last league match, with Nicolas Gonzalez scoring a second-half leveler before beating Torino 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia last time out.
Fiorentina sit 12th in the league table with 24 points from 20 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
Bologna have had mixed results this season but are well on course to secure a top-half finish at the end of the campaign. They beat Spezia 2-0 in their last game, with Stefan Posch scoring the opener in the first-half before Ricardo Orsolini wrapped up the points with a well-taken goal in the 77th-minute of the game.
The visitors sit ninth in the Serie A standings, two points above their weekend opponents, and will be looking to widen the gap with a win on Sunday.
