Fiorentina vs Bologna Predictions

• Fiorentina’s last four games have all gone under 1.5 goals
• Bologna beat Inter in the previous round
• Five of Fiorentina’s seven losses this season have been by a 1-0 scoreline

Competitive cup clash on the cards

The Coppa Italia is at the quarter-final stages already and one of the most eye-catching clashes of the round sees Bologna travel to take on fellow Serie A side Fiorentina. There is just a point and a place between these two in the European places of the top flight and this looks set to be an ultra-competitive affair.

Bologna have majorly exceeded expectations this season and knocked Inter out in the last round, beating the table toppers 2-1. Fiorentina on the other hand needed penalties to see off Serie B leaders Parma.

All in all this is a tricky tie to call and the home side Fiorentina look short enough considering the success of their visitors this season.

In such a cagey clash in which defence is expected to come to the fore, it may be worth siding with a lack of goals.

Tight affair likely

These two teams have the third and fourth best defensive records in Serie A and Fiorentina in particular have made a habit of low-scoring affairs recently, their last four matches have seen one goal exactly.

Bologna are no strangers to a cagey matchup so take under 1.5 goals to land in this cup tie. Bologna are clearly a side on the up, boosted by the impressive performances of Scotland’s Lewis Ferguson, and they could edge this clash 1-0.

Five of Fiorentina’s seven defeats this season have been by that scoreline so side with the visitors to nick a winner.
