Fiorentina comes into the derby in good form, especially with their strong performances at home. 'La Viola' have won their last five home matches across all competitions.

The team is unbeaten in their last six league matches. Last season, the teams exchanged 2-1 home victories, which promises another tightly contested affair.

Bologna
The 'Rossoblù' have been one of the revelations of the season. Vincenzo Italiano's team plays very organized and tactically astute football. Bologna boasts one of the best defensive records in the league. In attack, Joshua Zirkzee is in scintillating form. Bologna is unbeaten in their last four away matches, demonstrating their confidence on the road.
