Bologna stunned Italian football fans last week by recording a scintillating 3-0 victory over Claudio Ranieri's Nerazzurri at Giuseppe Meazza, and on Tuesday night they will be determined to prove that this result was no fluke against Fiorentina.
Bologna are quoted at a generous 31/20 (2.55) with AllYouBet.com to record a victory against the Viola with the visitors chalked up at 47/25 (2.88) to take all three points back to Florence. The draw is rated as a 41/20 (3.05) chance with the same firm.
The win over Inter Milan belied the Felsinei's lowly league position and they have relied heavily on the form of veteran striker Marco Di Vaio for goals this term and the marksman heads AllYouBet.com's first goalscorer market at 7/2 (4.50), while Uruguayan forward Henry Gimenez is priced up at 5/1 (6.0) to open the scoring on Tuesday night.
Fiorentina look destined for mid-table obscurity this season, but they still possess a lively goal threat in the shape of striker Stevan Jovetic, who has netted an impressive 12 goals this term for Fiorentina, including a double in a recent 3-2 victory over high-flying Udinese.
AllYouBet.com's offer of 13/2 (7.50) for the dangerous Jovetic to score first looks appealing, particularly for those less convinced that Bologna’s recent win over Inter Milan was little more than a freak result.
Curiously, prior to that win over Inter Milan, all of Bologna’s previous four Serie A matches ended in either a 0-0 or 1-1 draw and the hosts might need to settle for another single point here. A 1-1 draw is priced up at 5/1 (6.0) with AllYouBet.com and the 10/11 (1.91) on either 2 or 3 goals to be scored with the same firm also carries appeal.
While Bologna will be boosted by that astonishing win over Claudio Ranieri's side, Fiorentina will be fired up after a dismal 3-0 defeat against Napoli on Friday and the visitors should not leave Bologna empty handed. The draw looks overpriced and is the bet of the day.
