Empoli have a big task ahead trying to overturn their first-leg deficit against Bologna in the Coppa Italia semi-final. Bologna will host this time and go into the match leading the tie 3-0. We have the prediction below, with the aggregate winner to face Inter Milan or AC Milan.
Ahead of this clash, Bologna recovered from two winless outings in Serie A with a 1-0 win at home to league leaders Inter Milan.
A 90th-minute Riccardo Orsolini strike shocked the champions, and having also scored in the first leg, he will be fired up for this. I Rossoblu haven't lost at home in the last 10 matches, a run they will hope to extend.
If Empoli’s recent run is put in perspective, then this ought to be their last game in Coppa Italia this season. The visitors are on a really poor run.
In their last 20 matches, they haven't managed a win inside 90 minutes. Empoli are involved in a two-way battle at the moment, with their place in Serie A also at risk.
Right ahead of this fixture, they needed a late equalizer to draw 2-2 with Venezia. That marked the first time they scored in the last four matches, while they have just one clean sheet in the last 25 matches across all competitions.

Our Bologna vs Empoli Prediction
Empoli have an uphill task here. Their recent form doesn’t cover them in much glory heading into this match. The visitors have not only struggled in attack but also been poor on the road. They come here having suffered a 3-0 first-leg defeat and have also struggled in their recent matches.
Bologna, on the other hand, are flying high after their win against the Serie A champions. Playing at home, Bologna are expected to finish the job. Our prediction for Bologna v Empoli is for Bologna to win with a clean sheet.
