Fresh from their Coppa Italia second-round success in midweek, Bologna return to Serie A action with a home encounter against Lazio at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Friday night.
While the hosts currently sit eighth in the Italian top-flight standings, the visitors are just one place and one point above their upcoming opponents in seventh.
Nikola Moro opened the scoring for the Rossoblu four minutes before half time before summer signing Sydney van Hooijdonk scored his first goal for the club midway through the second half, nine minutes after Suat Serdar was sent off for a cynical foul.
August 21 was the last time that Thiago Motta's men tasted defeat in any competition, and avoiding defeat on Friday would see Bologna put together a 10-game unbeaten run in Serie A for the first time since December 1979 and March 1980 under former boss Marino Perani.
Bologna will welcome a swift return to home soil on Friday as they have won each of their last three matches at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, while they are also unbeaten in each of their last four home meetings with Lazio.
