Fiorentina vs Bologna Odds

Fiorentina Team News

Fiorentina, last year’s Coppa Italia finalists, seek redemption after a painful defeat to Inter in the 2023 final. Coach Vincenzo Italiano remains ambitious, focusing on both domestic and European competitions this season.

Recent successes include progressing to the knockout phase of the Conference League and overcoming Parma in a challenging Coppa Italia match. Despite trailing by two goals against the Serie B leaders, late goals secured extra time and a penalty shootout victory.

Fiorentina, currently in the top four of Serie A, faced an unexpected challenge against Sassuolo. Injuries persist, with the absence of wingers Nico Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil, along with long-term absentees Dodo and Gaetano Castrovilli.

With winger Christian Kouame on AFCON duty, Fiorentina’s squad faces significant challenges. Despite recruitment efforts, forward M’Bala Nzola declined Angola’s call-up. Coach Italiano may rotate players, managing a dense schedule before the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.

Bologna Team News

Despite equalizing thanks to Joshua Zirkzee, who converted a penalty after an early setback, Bologna’s recent visit to the Artemio Franchi stadium ended in defeat against Fiorentina. Thiago Motta’s team experienced a rare setback after an impressive run that placed them among the top four Italian teams, but a post-Christmas dip in form has left them just behind Fiorentina in the standings.

The dip in form included an unexpected loss to Udinese and salvaging a point in the last minute against Genoa. Nevertheless, Bologna has been dominant at home, securing eight wins in their last 10 matches. Their away performance is not as impressive, with only one victory in Serie A, although they notably defeated Inter in the Coppa Italia last month.

Zirkzee played a crucial role in Bologna’s previous success in the Coppa Italia, propelling them to the quarterfinals in Florence. Despite some injury challenges, Lewis Ferguson is set to return, but Jesper Karlsson, Adama Soumaoro, and Dan Ndoye remain sidelined. The choice between Lukasz Skorupski and Federico Ravaglia in goal, as well as substitutions from the bench, remains to be seen. After receiving his fifth yellow card, Zirkzee will be suspended for the next match against Cagliari but is likely to start in Florence.
