Aiming to continue their long unbeaten streak in Serie A, Bologna visit regional rivals Sassuolo on Saturday afternoon.
Ahead of an Emilian derby, the teams are separated by four points in the standings, with the in-form Rossoblu sitting above their hosts.
Having won three from four previously, the Neroverdi have since lived up to their reputation for being consistently inconsistent - drawing with Lecce either side of home defeats to Monza and Lazio.
After their 2-0 reverse to the latter, no other team have lost more Serie A matches this calendar year than Alessio Dionisi's side, who are prone to defensive lapses that undermine some incisive attacking play.
Taking six points from games against Juventus and Inter Milan demonstrated the talent available to Dionisi, but Sassuolo have now conceded at least once in each of their last 17 league fixtures, at an average of two per game.
