Empoli, who are winless in their last three Serie A matches, will look to bounce back when they host Bologna at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Thursday at 18:45 GMT.
Key Highlights
Empoli are 15th on the table with 32 points; they have a healthy six points lead over the relegation zone. However, with seven matches left to play, they need to start winning matches to keep the chasing pack at bay. They have won just once in their last five matches, lost three times, and drawn once. Empoli have also lost their last two matches.
Bologna’s four-match unbeaten run in Serie A was ended in the 2-1 defeat against Verona last Friday. They have won two, drawn two, and lost once in the last five matches. They will be looking to bounce back to winning ways as they seek to press home their advantage and finish as high up the table as possible.
