Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Bologna, 6th position with 18 points and a positive goal difference of +4
Fiorentina, 8th position with 17 points and a positive goal difference of +3
Fiorentina won the Serie A Week 12 game on Sunday 12 November 2023 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina returned to victory after three defeats and joined Atalanta in fifth place on 20 points, Bologna, after a long positive series, found defeat again and remained stuck on 18.
Fiorentina won a very hard-fought match full of reversals. The home team took the lead thanks to a surgical conclusion from Giacomo Bonaventura, the Emilians equalized with Zirkzee on a penalty. In the second half, it’s another penalty spot kick that restored the distance, with Gonzalez displacing Skorupski and giving Fiorentina the three points.
Fiorentina opened the score in the 17th minute. Giacomo Bonaventura defeated Bologna goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by M’Bala Nzola.

✅ Stats before the game: Bologna won both matches last season against Fiorentina (both with a score of 2-1), after a series of 16 matches in which Viola had never lost to the Emilians; only once in history have the rossoblù defeated the Tuscans three games in a row in Serie A (between 1965 and 1966).
Bologna won in the last away match at the Franchi in the championship against Fiorentina (2-1 on 5 February 2023), scoring two goals: in the previous 10 away matches against the Tuscan team they had only scored one goal and suffered eight defeats (2N ). Fiorentina have come from three consecutive defeats in the league without scoring: they have not gone four consecutive games in Serie A without scoring since November 2020 and have not lost four games in a row in the competition since December 2019; to find a series of four consecutive knockouts without hitting the target you have to go back to May 2019. Bologna has 10 consecutive useful results (the longest open unbeaten streak among the teams in this championship): if they also avoided defeat in Florence, they would reach 11, an event that has not occurred in Serie A since January 1974 for the rossoblù, with Bruno Pesaola on the bench.
