Empoli vs Bologna Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions
Empoli enters this Serie A round precariously close to the relegation zone, with only one point from their last six matches (D1, L5).
Despite scoring in their last five Serie A games—marking their longest scoring streak this season—Empoli’s struggles persist due to inefficiencies in other areas beyond their attacking output.
Only three clubs had scored fewer goals than Empoli’s 20 prior to this round, highlighting their ongoing difficulties in converting opportunities into results.
The reverse fixture against Bologna saw Empoli score within three minutes in a 1-1 draw, breaking a streak of two consecutive H2H losses ‘to nil.’ However, head coach Roberto D’Aversa faces mounting pressure, especially as Empoli have lost their last three home league matches. Another home loss would set an unwanted club record of four consecutive home defeats within a single Serie A campaign, underscoring their current challenges at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Bologna approach this fixture with renewed confidence after a historic 2-1 comeback victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League. While they are now eliminated from UCL knockout stage contention, this could shift their focus entirely to their Serie A ambitions, particularly their push for a top-six finish. Remarkably, Bologna have shown resilience in recent league matches, earning points in their last three games (W1, D2) despite falling behind in each.
Bologna’s attacking prowess is evident, having scored 32 goals in their first 21 Serie A games, their highest tally since the 1965/66 season. Nevertheless, defensive frailties remain a concern for head coach Vincenzo Italiano, as Bologna have managed just one win in their last four away league matches (D2, L1), conceding seven goals during that stretch. Their ability to balance offensive firepower with defensive solidity will be critical in this match against Empoli.
