Fiorentina vs Bologna Analysis
Fiorentina makes life tough on opponents
The Violas have been especially tough on defense in league play as of late. Fiorentina has shut out three of its last four opponents. However, Fiorentina vs Bologna odds show the Violas were on the wrong side of that approach last time out. Fiorentina limited Sassuolo to .9 xG, but couldn’t score themselves in a 1-0 loss.
La Viola hasn’t scored more than one goal in a match since it beat Parmar 4-1 in penalty kicks following finishing the match in a 2-2 draw in the last round of the Coppa Italia in early December. Fiorentina will play this match without one of its top scorers, Nicolas Gonzalez, who has tallied six markers this season.
Fiorentina’s attack will have to be carried by another goal scorer Giacomo Bonaventura, who also has six goals.
Fiorentina Projected Lineup
Christensen; Kayode, Milenkovic, Ranieri, Parisi; Duncan, Arthur; Ikone, Barak, Brekalo; Beltran
Fiorentina Injuries
The Violas will see Nico Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil out of the match.
Bologna hopes to snap a short slump
Bologna’s recent form isn’t unusual to see for those who bet on soccer leagues. Following a four-game winning streak in all competitions, Bologna is now on a two-game winless slide. It was shut out by Udinese and settled for a 1-1 tie with Genoa.
Joshua Zirkzee has been excellent in the attack for Bologna, scoring seven goals. Lewis Ferguson and Riccardo Orsolini have been good complimentary pieces for Zirkzee, scoring four goals apiece.
Bologna Projected Lineup
Skorupski; De Silvestri, Beukema, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Moro, Aebischer; Orsolini, Ferguson, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee
Bologna Injuries
People making a Coppa Italia prediction will see that Jesper Karlsson, Adama Soumaoro and Dan Ndoye will be out with injuries.
Fiorentina vs Bologna Pick and Prediction
There isn’t much that has separated Fiorentina and Bologna this season. In Serie A play, there is only one point that separates the two teams from each other. As the season goes on, people who bet on soccer will see both teams will be in a wild fight for fourth place and a spot in the Champions League.
Fiorentina has been locked in a number of low-scoring matches recently. While Fiorentina has been good at home this season, there isn’t much to indicate their attack will be much more effective against Bologna. However, Bologna won’t have an easy team cracking Fiorentina’s backline either. Previous scores and odds indicate this match should go under the total, so that’s our choice for our soccer picks.
- Pick: Under.
