Empoli vs Bologna Prediction: the rivals will exchange goals

Bologna won their first victory in the Champions League, beating Borussia Dortmund 2:1. Will the Red-Blues be able to consolidate their success in the away match against Empoli? We offer a free prediction and several bets on the final match of Saturday's program of the 22nd round of the Italian Serie A.

Empoli

The Tuscans played their previous match last Sunday - away against Inter. The team survived the first half and did not concede, but in the second half they got three goals and scored only once - 1:3. Quite expected failure of Empoli, which at the same time became for the Blues already the fifth in the last six rounds. In this stretch, the Tuscan team scored just one point.

As a result of this unfortunate, to put it mildly, stretch, Empoli came close to the relegation zone, now occupying 15th place in the standings and ahead of the bottom three by just one point. From the key game characteristics we should note the unsuccessful game of the Blues in attacks. For 21 rounds, the Tuscans have scored only 20 goals. Only Genoa, Lecce and Venice have fewer.

Bologna

The Red-Blue chances for the Champions League playoffs have already been lost, but beating the past draw's finalist, Borussia Dortmund, is still pleasant. 2:1 - Bologna conceded first but responded with two goals in the middle of the second half, separated by one minute.

In the last round of Serie A, Bologna met at home with Monza, a team from the relegation zone, and succeeded (3:1). Thus, the team continued the chase for the European Cup competition. Now Bologna is seventh in the standings but already has an identical number of points with Fiorentina, who are in the top 6.
