Round 32 of the Italian Serie A comes to an end on Monday as Bologna and Sampdoria go head-to-head at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium.
The visitors will be desperate to get one over Bologna, having lost each of the last six meetings between the sides since 2018.
Bologna did well to secure a point in a goalless draw with AC Milan in Serie A action last Monday.
They have now failed to taste victory in any of their last five outings, claiming three draws and losing twice since February’s 2-1 win over Spezia.
With 34 points from 30 games, Bologna are currently 12th in the Serie A table, level on points with 13th-placed Empoli.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria were sent crashing back down to earth last time out as they suffered a 1-0 home loss at the hands of Roma.
This followed a 2-0 victory at Venezia on March 20 which saw their three-game losing streak come to an end.
With 29 points from 31 games, Sampdoria are currently 16th in the league table, seven points above the relegation zone.
Bologna vs Sampdoria Head-To-Head
Sampdoria boast a slightly superior record in the history of this fixture, claiming 11 wins from the last 28 meetings between the sides. Bologna have picked up one fewer win in that time, while seven games have ended all square.
