Bologna might have delivered a potential title blow to Inter (1-0) in the race for Scudetto when Riccardo Orsolini scored a last-minute bicycle kick in the last round. In the match, where everything was heading towards a goalless draw, the hosts grabbed a huge win.
Following their triumph, Bologna have an excellent chance of securing their second consecutive Champions League qualification. However, doing so won’t be easy. They have a strict schedule ahead and are playing in Coppa Italia, where they have a 3-goal lead after the first leg.
Davide Calabria, Lewis Ferguson, and Lukasz Skorupski are out with injuries. The latter is a starting goalkeeper, so Federico Ravaglia will replace him.
Bologna predicted lineup vs Empoli (4-2-3-1): Ravaglia; Holm, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Aebischer; Ndoye, Odgaard, Orsolini; Dallinga.
Empoli’s horrible run in Serie A continued against Venezia. They barely survived a scare after Faustino Anjorin scored a 87th-minute equalizer. This won’t give Empoli much relief as they’re in the penultimate place with 25 points.
As their chances of leaving the top-flight look high, their only hope is to focus on the Coppa Italia. However, in the first game, they were thrashed 3-0 by Bologna, and their offensive performance does not bode well for a potential comeback.
Nicolas Haas, Christian Kouame, Youssef Maleh, Pietro Pellegri, Saba Sazonov, and Szymon Zurkowski are all on the list of injured players. Ardian Ismajli is questionable and hasn’t featured since mid-March.
Empoli predicted lineup vs Bologna (3-4-2-1): Seghetti; Goglichidze, Marianucci, Tosto; Gyasi, Grassi, Henderson, Cacace; Fazzini, Esposito; Colombo.
Bet hereVincenzo Italiano, who was sent off against Inter in Serie A, has created a formidable team. Given their recent results, they can be called one of the best clubs in the domestic championship and could achieve another milestone by winning the cup.
Bologna have gone unbeaten in their last five encounters against Empoli, winning three of them. Added to that, they’ve not lost a game at home this year across all competitions.
The hosts are the favourites and we think they’ll get another victory in the second leg. Our pick in this clash would be Bologna to win.
The home squad have played an effortful match against Inter, so they’re unlikely to be as aggressive as usual. Also, they already have a superior advantage after the first leg. We don’t anticipate a goal-fest.
Empoli are one of the worst sides both in the offence and defence, and will struggle to create any chances. Bologna, on the other hand, will try to score and then squeeze the game.
With the hosts almost advanced to the final, they’ll try to save some energy for the upcoming calendar. Hence, our second prediction for Bologna vs Empoli would be under 2.5 goals.
