Bologna host a top‑flight Palermo in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes. Sitting 18th with just two points from five games – no wins, two draws and three defeats while conceding six and scoring three – the hosts will be desperate to claw back from the bottom. Palermo, meanwhile, sit comfortably on the summit with 13 points after an unbeaten run of four wins and a draw, boasting a healthy +5 goal difference (10 scored, five conceded). The gap in form and points makes the encounter a classic battle of survival versus supremacy, and the outcome could be decisive for Bologna’s fight to escape the relegation zone.
