Bologna to Extend Unbeaten Run Over Empoli

Bologna are looking to better their fifth-place Serie A finish from last season. Vincenzo Italiano’s men sit pretty in fourth, a point above Juventus in the UEFA Champions League race.

Bologna have lost just five league games this term, with only three clubs suffering fewer defeats. They have also impressed in the Coppa Italia, seeing off Monza and Atalanta to book their place in the last four.

Empoli survived in Serie A by the skin of their teeth last season, finishing one point and one place above the drop zone. They need another great escape, as the club are currently a point away from safety in 18^th position. Survival remains the priority for the Tuscany team.

Empoli’s form over the past few months has been woeful, with the Blues not winning a Serie A match since December 8^th. However, they did get the better of Juventus in the previous round of the Coppa Italia, winning on penalties after a 1-1 tie in Turin.
