Bologna will host Monza at the Renato Dall'Ara on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a strong season and are pushing for their first-ever UEFA Champions League appearance. They were held to a goalless draw by relegation-threatened Frosinone in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing, particularly in the second half.
Bologna sit fourth in the league table with 58 points from 31 games and will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Monza have also performed well this season and are now on the hunt for a top-half league finish. They were beaten 4-2 by Napoli in their last match, heading into the break a goal up before their opponents scored a quickfire treble early after the restart to snatch all three points.
The visitors sit mid-table in 11th place with 42 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
