Bologna vs Empoli Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A
by Kennedy Kechula in Serie A Predictions
A poor start to the season has Bologna struggling in the lower reaches of the Italian Serie A. As Rossoblu welcome Empoli in round three only a home win will ease the mounting pressure. Follow on for our prediction of this match.
A good season in 2023/24 led to massive raids at Bologna and as a result, the team is struggling. Two matches into the season, new manager Vincenzo Italiano is yet to deliver a win.
As the Champions League approaches, Bologna will have to pick up before things get tougher. Last week they suffered their first loss of the season, falling 3-0 away to Napoli.
A return to Renato Dall’Ara where they drew 1-1 with Udinese on the opening day could offer some positive vibes. Bologna lost only twice at home last season.
Empoli are enjoying a good start to the season and will welcome the chance to face a struggling side. Their season started much earlier, in the Coppa Italia, where they bagged a 4-1 win against Catanzaro.
They haven't looked back after opening their Serie A campaign with a 0-0 draw at home to Monza. They scored a massive win in beating AS Roma 2-1 away from home last week and they will approach this game on a high.
After failing to win in six straight away matches, the victory at Roma will definitely inject a lot of confidence at Empoli. They will be targeting a win after losing in both legs against Bologna last season.
Azzurri Empolesi actually have three wins in their last six matches against Bologna.

Our Bologna vs Empoli Prediction
In the final round of matches before the league breaks for the international week, both these teams will be eyeing three points. For Bologna, that would be a massive lift, considering their slow start to the season.
However, the team seems to be struggling after a number of departures in the summer. Their last four matches at home produced draws and they will struggle to beat a motivated Empoli coming off a win at Roma.
Meanwhile, the visitors’ quest to build on their good start could be hampered by their away form. Our prediction for Bologna v Empoli is for the game to end in a draw.
