However, the Violets are also winless in their last five home matches in Serie A having recorded two draws and three defeats.
 
Giacomo Bonaventura, the Fiorentina midfielder, has turned his focus to their clash with Lazio following their stalemate against Bologna. 
 
"My experience is important, I have been playing in this league for many years and what happens in midfield is always more or less the same," Bonaventura said. 
 
"I hope I can help the team and spend many more years playing in Serie A. 
 
"Now we focus on the next game at home against Lazio, I'm sure in our own stadium we can have a strong performance."
