&lt;p&gt;At the Dall`Ara, Bologna host Lecce at 15.00 CET. The Rossoblu, after regaining the three points missing since 23 December, in the Emilian derby against Sassuolo, aim for victory to relaunch their bid for the fourth place, still within reach despite four consecutive matches without a win around New Year`s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce also ended a winless streak lasting since December 16, which had brought the Salentini too close to the relegation zone.
