These Bologna vs. Fiorentina predictions should take into account the potential effect of a new manager; no wins from the opening five games brought the sacking of Siniša Mihajlović this week.
Bologna vs. Fiorentina odds
1 – Under 2.5 total goals scored – 10/11
2 – Draw and both teams to score – 10/3
3 – Both teams to score – 7/10
4 – 1-1 draw at 90 minutes – 9/2
5 – Marko Arnautović to score anytime – 21/10
It wasn’t the most popular decision of all time, but Bologna sacked Siniša Mihajlovic after the 2-2 draw away at Spezia last week and will now face Fiorentina with a first win of the season a priority for whoever takes charge on Sunday.
It was the Marko Arnautović show once again in that last game, with the Austrian striker scoring both goals to take his personal tally to five. Riccardo Orsolini also tested the Spezia keeper on a number of occasions.
Now it will be interesting to see how the Rossoblu start against Fiorentina. Mihajlović had been the manager since 2019 and this has been very much his team, even with his battles against leukaemia. Bologna will have to learn to play for a new man in charge.
Vincenzo Italiano would probably have wished that his Fiorentina players had got the chance to play against Bologna last week rather than face the ideas of a new head coach. He will also be wondering how his side failed to pick up a rare win against Juventus last weekend.
The Viola went behind early on but managed to get back into the game, thanks to a good goal from Christian Kouamé. But Luka Jović missed a first half penalty and then the heroics of Perin in the Juve goal kept the game all square.
That should be regarded as a good result for Fiorentina. But it does mean that they have still only won one game this season and will come into this one after playing an extra game in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Bologna team news
It is difficult to know just how Bologna will line up for this one under new management. Musa Barrow could be given another go in the middle after being recalled last week. But the main goal threat will undoubtedly come from Marko Arnautović once again.
Fiorentina team news
There cannot be much more time for Luka Jović to be handed an automatic start without him scoring goals, but he should get the nod here. Igor misses out at the back because of suspension and he should be replaced by Argentinian defender Lucas Martínez Quarta.
