Bologna will look to maintain their top-four push with a win when basement club Salernitana comes visiting after Easter Sunday. This match at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara will be played on Monday. The hosts started this round in fourth place with 54 points, while the visitors are at the bottom of the table with 14 points. Bologna have a three-point lead over fifth-placed Roma, as they defeated Empoli 1-0 in their last match before the international break. That helped them bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan one matchday prior. In fact, that defeat remains the only reverse for the hosts, who have seven wins from their last eight league games. The record is even more impressive at home, where Bologna have won 11 of their last 13 matches in all competitions, drawing and losing one each. Three clean sheets across their last four home matches suggest they will keep it tight at the back.

Salernitana are stuck at the bottom of the points tally after a 1-0 defeat to Lecce last time out. With a gap of 11 points to safety, they are destined for a spell in Serie B next year. The defeat to Lecce has cost manager Fabio Liverani his job, with Stefano Colantuono making a return to the club for the third time. While it remains to be seen if he can inspire confidence, Colantuono would be keen to see his team make things difficult for Bologna. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 win for Bologna, and looking at their recent away record, Salernitana will be happy to score even one goal. That’s because the visitors have failed to score in seven of their last 13 away league matches.
