Fiorentina vs Bologna: the Violets to break the bad streak

The match between Fiorentina and Bologna will open Sunday's program of the Serie A round 29. Who will win? We will choose several options for you to bet on.

After the victory over Atalanta, Fiorentina can't win three matches in a row. First, Fiorentina lost away to Sassuolo (1-2). Then failed to cope with Juventus at home in the Italian Cup semi-final (0-1). Vincenzo Italiano's team even failed to beat Verona at home (1-1).

As expected, the Violets began to fall behind the top 6. Fiorentina occupies 8th place in the standings with a four-point gap from the European Cup zone.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's Red and Blues are struggling to pick up points. In the last eight games, for example, Bologna have only one win – at home over Spezia. And in the last 12 games, the team suffered seven defeats.

On the previous matchday, Bologna played 0-0 at home against Torino. Sinisa Mihajlovic's team occupies 12th place in the Serie A standings. The handicap from the relegation zone is 11 points. The gap from the European Cup zone is 14 points.

In the first round of the current championship, Fiorentina beat Bologna away, 3-2.

The forces in the upcoming confrontation are unequal. Fiorentina is still fighting for European Cups, while Bologna gave up on tournament goals a long while ago. The Violets missed out on points in the matches against Verona and Sassuolo, and surely they will do everything possible to not do the same against Bologna. It's not that hard to do this season, after all.

Prediction: Fiorentina will win.

• Asian Handicap Fioretina (-0.75) for 1.80;
