ℹ️ Team News: Fiorentina

We are thinking that La Viola should make use of the 3-4-3 system for this one, utilising David De Gea, Marin Pongracic, Pablo Mari, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Nicolo Fagioli, Rolando Mandragora, Robin Gosens, Amir Richardson, Albert Gudmundsson and Cher Ndour.

📋 Team News: Bologna

Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano has to choose a team with limited availability. Estanis Pedrola (Hamstring muscle injury) and Martin Erlić (Calf muscle tear) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Rossoblu appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Lukasz Skorupski, Davide Calabria, Sam Beukema, Nicolo Casale, C. Lykogiannis, Michel Aebischer, Remo Freuler, Riccardo Orsolini, Giovanni Fabbian, Benjamin Dominguez and Thijs Dallinga.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Bologna and Fiorentina may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That is why we are leaning toward a very close game with a 1-1 score at full-time.
