Still last in the standings, the Viola team fresh from a success in Europe must change gear to help their coach

Fiorentina-Bologna, a classic Apennine derby, could be a decisive match for the fate of Stefano Pioli, last in the standings with 3 points but fresh from a good victory in the Conference League in Vienna. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Fiorentina-Bologna scheduled for Sunday 26 October at 6pm.

FIORENTINA-BOLOGNA PREDICTION ODDS

Fiorentina is in great difficulty in the championship, where it occupies last place with only three points: still no victory and four defeats for Stefano Pioli who ended up on trial with his players and the club itself. But after Milan’s defeat against the Rossoneri, due to a highly contested penalty scored by Leao, the Viola recovered in the Conference League by winning 3-0 against Rapid in Vienna. With full points in Europe, the Tuscan team fails to establish itself in Serie A despite the summer investments made on the market. After the stop in the Cup, Kean will return to the center of the attack in an attempt to increase the attacking potential.

For the bookies of the main betting sites, the Over 0.5 outcome offered at odds of 1.08 by William Hill, 1.07 by Vincitu, 1.05 by Sisal and 1.03 by Eurobet seems obvious. Precisely for this event Sisal offers the increased fee which increases the indicated outcome to 6.00 only for new members.

THE ITALIAN PATH

Bologna, however, achieved their first victory in the Europa League in Bucharest against Steaua and now have 4 points in the big group. In the championship he is performing at his usual averages which allow him to remain in the Cup area: at 13 points he has just come off two victories in a row, the first against Pisa at home and the second against Cagliari away. Italian, hospitalized for pneumonia, will continue to remotely guide his staff in managing a match that seems very balanced even if the standings are very different. The hypothesis of the X sign at the interval should be considered: a solution worth odds of 2.05 on Bet365, 2.02 on Netbet, 2.00 on Snai and Admiralbet.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE ATTACKERS

Kean against Castro (or Dallinga), Gudmundsson against Orsolini, Cambiaghi (or Rowe) against Fazzini: on the play of these talents Pioli and Italiano will play a challenge that is truly worth a lot. And the value of the men just mentioned leads us to think that when looking for predictions and odds for Fiorentina-Bologna we need to evaluate the Goal sign (both teams scoring): a solution worth odds of 1.89 on Starcasinò and William Hill, 1.87 on Vincitu and 1.82 on Eurobet.
