The Rossoblu can leapfrog Atalanta into fourth place and gain a mental advantage over the northern Italian outfit.
However, they must first overcome Verona on Friday night at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. A win takes them three points clear of fifth place but having played two more games.
In stark contrast, Verona are in a battle for survival on the other end of the Serie A table. The Gialloblu are 18th and level on points with Sassuolo but have played an extra game.
Marco Baroni’s charges simply can’t afford another loss on Friday as it will allow Sassuolo some breathing space with two games in hand before hosting Empoli on Saturday.
Strong home record
Bologna are undefeated in their previous 12 league games at home and are on a run of four consecutive victories.
In their last five head-to-heads with Verona, they’ve won twice and lost once (D2). Thiago Motta’s men have only lost once at home in the league this season.
Seeing as Verona are winless in their previous five fixtures, coming away with a positive result on Friday night seems almost impossible.
Of their 13 games on their travels in Serie A, the visitors have only registered one victory, losing nine times.
The Greyhounds will likely maintain their excellent home record and brush off the relegation-threatened side on Friday night.

A long night ahead
The hosts are among Serie A’s top six scorers with 37 strikes, averaging 1.48 goals per game.
They’ve now scored a minimum of two goals in five consecutive league games, a statistic that will worry Baroni.
The Rossoblu have won their last three home league games by at least two goals and they own a record of having hit the back of the net in each of their previous 10 games at home.
With Riccardo Orsolini scoring three times in his last three Serie A appearances and joint-top scorer Joshua Zirkzee in decent goalscoring form, it could be a long night for Verona.
