Empoli

Under the guidance of Davide Nicola, Empoli managed to climb out of the relegation zone and improve their style of play, but recent results have dropped the team to 17th place. In the previous round, Empoli predictably lost 0-1 to Milan, and before that suffered the same scoreline defeat to direct relegation rival Cagliari (0-1). Empoli is currently separated from the relegation zone by just 1 point.

Bologna

Thiago Motta's team is the main sensation of the season in Italy. As the season approaches its end, Bologna occupies the fourth place and realistically aims to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in its history. However, in the previous round, Bologna narrowly lost to Inter (0-1) and ended their streak of 6 consecutive victories. The next three rounds are crucial for Bologna from a tournament perspective, as they will play against the league's underdogs in succession: Empoli, Frosinone, and Salernitana. Unfortunately, their top scorer, Joshua Zirkzee, will miss these matches due to injury.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• In the 7th round of the current season, Bologna crushed Empoli 3-0.
• Empoli has lost to Bologna only once in their last 5 matches.

Empoli vs Bologna prediction

Empoli has been a threat to all opponents at their home stadium recently, so it's risky to bet on a victory for Bologna. Considering Zirkzee's absence and Empoli's defensive style, I predict that there will be fewer than 3 goals scored in the match.
