On Saturday afternoon, Bologna and Empoli go head-to-head in Serie A, as both teams look to kick-start their league campaigns.
The Rossoblu have enjoyed a mixed start to their campaign in Serie A. However, a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina last time out ended a five-game winless run for Bologna in the Italian top-flight. The game saw both teams score again, just as both teams have scored in five of the Rossoblu’s last six league matches.
Bologna’s six league matches so far this season have yielded just six points for the home team. A win here could see Thiago Motta’s team shoot up the Serie A table.
The home side has a recent mixed record on home soil. However, Bologna has lost just one of their previous seven home matches in Serie A. Both teams have scored in their last six home games in the Italian top flight.
The visitors have failed to win any of their games this season, picking up just four points from their previous six league games during the 2022/23 season. Empoli’s poor league form this season is a continuance from last season, as Empoli have won just one of their previous ten matches in Serie A.
Empoli’s recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight outings.
Paolo Zanetti’s team have not travelled well of late, as the visitors have won just one of their last 14 away games in Serie A. Empoli’s recent away games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their previous four league games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will have to wait slightly longer for their next win and that this game will produce a low-scoring draw.
