&lt;p&gt;Bologna are set to host Fiorentina at the Dall’Ara at 15:00 CET. After letting a two-goal lead slip away to Juventus, the Rossoblù will be hoping to take a step towards the highest positions in the table by beating Fiorentina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the Viola are on the hunt for their ninth win in a row as they continue to dream big.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won three of their last four Serie A matches against Fiorentina (L1), after having failed to win any of the previous 16 (D6 L10).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina remain unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 games against Bologna in the first round of Serie A (W10 D5) – the only exception was a 2-1 comeback win for the Rossoblù on 11/09/2022, with the goals score by Musa Barrow and Marko Arnautovic, after the first one scored by Lucas Martínez.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna won their last two home games against Fiorentina in Serie A and they could record at least three consecutive home wins against this opponent in the Italian top-flight for the first time since 1965 (four on that occasion).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have collected 22 points in this Serie A campaign, exactly the same points as they recorded last season after the same number of matches; in the last tournament they won the 15th match (against Salernitana).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina (31) have collected more than 30 points in the first 14 matches of a Serie A season for the first time in the three points per win era (since 1994/95); considering always the three points per victory, they could equal their best performance after the first 15 MDs, established in 1934/35 (34).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are the only team to have not yet conceded a goal in the final 30 minutes of play in the major five European leagues this season; the Viola could become the third team in the history of Serie A not to concede any goals after the 60th minute of play in their first 15 matches played in a single season, after Vicenza 1962/63 and Mantova 1966/67.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next one will be the 250th Serie A appearance for Remo Freuler: the Bologna midfielder will become the fifth Swiss player to reach this milestone in the competition in the three points for a win era, after Stephan Lichtsteiner (301), Blerim Dzemaili (280), Gökhan Inler (259) and Valon Behrami (259). In the current tournament, he is third among midfielders for successful passes (730, only fewer than Manuel Locatelli, 875, and Marten de Roon, 863).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the players who scored at least 10 goals in Serie A since 2004/05 (i.e. since Opta has been collecting details on shots), Fiorentina midfielder Danilo Cataldi has the second-highest proportion from outside the box (82%: nine out of 11, including the most recent against Cagliari), behind only Gökhan Inler (93%: 14 out of 15).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Dodo (Fiorentina)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FABBRI (IMPERIALE – CAVALLINA) IV:&amp;nbsp;PICCININI, VAR: ABISSO, AVAR:&amp;nbsp;MARINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino-Bologna (Saturday 21 December, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Udinese (Monday 23 December, 18:30 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
