Bologna – Fiorentina

Bologna host Fiorentina in what promises to be a crucial clash at the end of a bleak campaign, with the hosts languishing in 16th place on just one point after three defeats and a solitary draw, scoring only two goals while conceding five. Fiorentina sit just above them in 15th, having collected three points from a single win and three losses, their goal difference a worrying –6 after netting five and letting in eleven. Both sides will be desperate to turn the tide and climb out of the relegation zone, making the encounter a potential six‑point swing in the standings. The recent head‑to‑head record offers little comfort, as neither side has managed to dominate the other this season, setting the stage for a tightly contested battle.
