Bologna vs Empoli: Italian middlings to play a high-scoring match

Bologna will take on Empoli in another match of the Serie A round 24. Who will be stronger in the battle of the middlings? Let's choose several options to bet on.

Bologna have given ground

After a good start to the league season, Sinisa Mihajlovic's team dropped to the usual level of a middling. The Red and Blues are coming into the match against Empoli with a three-match losing streak. Bologna has 6 defeats in the last 7 games. The club's performance speaks for itself.

Bologna is 13th in the Serie A standings with a handicap of 10 points from the relegation zone. As has become a custom in recent years, Bologna can not fear relegation, but they are no contenders for the European Cups.

Empoli have also slowed down

Aurelio Andreazzoli's team, like Bologna, played well in the first third of the season. But then the Blues' results went downhill. Empoli hasn't won in six consecutive rounds – three defeats and three draws.

Despite setbacks in the last rounds, you can't blame Empoli. Last season the team played in Serie B and the current 12th place in the Serie A standings with a handicap of 12 points from the relegation zone is certainly a good result for the Blues.

Expert Betting Tips

It is difficult to say who will be stronger in the upcoming game. Both Bologna and Empoli have not been performing well as of late, and it's hard to see either side as the favorites in this face-off. One thing is certain – this game will be productive. Both teams play poor defense and will most likely manage to score at least three goals together.

Prediction: Total Over.
