After the games of Coppa Italia of this week, here's the Serie A again with, for example, the derby between Fiorentina and Bologna, sunday at the stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence.
Fiorentina, who also had to play the Coppa Italia this week (against Chievo), is doing very fine already since quite a while – the "viola" have also won their last games (2-1 against Bari and 5-1 in Siena!) and are now on the 6th place with only three points less than Napoli on the 3rd place,all in all certainly a satisfying situation for the team of Cesare Prandelli.
Unfortunately you can't say the same about Bologna FC who are in a less pleasant situation than Fiorentina: the rossoblù haven't won since four turns, the last game has finished with a bitter home defeat against Cagliari (1-2), the first home defeat for their new coach Colomba. Bologna is now on the 17th place, and with a defeat in Florence they might finish in the retrocession zone, as Catania is only one point behind them.
Only problem for Fiorentina: they might have to play without some important players – Gilardino has fever but should recover for the game against Bologna, while Jovetic will not yet be able to play after his knee injury.
