FLORENCE, Italy (Interstat) — A struggling Fiorentina side seeks its first Serie A victory of the season Sunday when it hosts a surging Bologna team at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The match, scheduled for Oct. 26, 2025, pits two Italian clubs on divergent tracks. Bologna arrives with momentum, sitting mid-table with a record of 4-3-2 in league play. They are coming off a 2-0 road win against Cagliari on Oct. 19 and have won four of their last five matches across all competitions.

In contrast, Fiorentina has found league results hard to come by, recording two draws and one loss for a 0-1-2 record in Serie A. Their domestic struggles are stark compared to their form in European competition, where they are a perfect 4-0-0, including a 3-0 victory at SK Rapid Wien on Thursday. Their overall record of 4-1-2 reflects this Jekyll-and-Hyde season.

Bologna’s attack has been potent, scoring multiple goals in recent wins. Fiorentina’s defense, which conceded seven goals to Juventus in its last Serie A home match, will be severely tested.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw.

Following this match, Fiorentina faces a quick turnaround with a trip to Inter Milan on Wednesday. Bologna will host Torino in its next Serie A fixture.
