Bologna vs. Empoli Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Bologna vs. Empoli

Bologna will begin the new month on Sunday as they host struggling Empoli at Stadio Dall’Ara, following a run of three scoreless draws that concluded September.

In the midweek Serie A round, Bologna continued this trend with another draw, while their opponents, Empoli, secured their first win shortly after a coaching change.

Bologna’s recent form has seen them record three consecutive 0-0 draws, a streak they haven’t experienced since early 2016.

Bologna vs. Empoli

In the 2023-24 season, they have managed to score just five goals so far, with two of those coming in a season-opening Coppa Italia victory against Cesena. However, it’s been nearly a month since their last league goal, scored by Giovanni Fabbian in a 2-1 win over newly promoted Cagliari.

Replacing the influential forward Marko Arnautovic, who served as Bologna’s talisman for the past two years, has proven to be a challenging task. Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee and his supporting cast have yet to fill the void left by Arnautovic’s departure.

What to remember – Bologna vs. Empoli

Considering Empoli’s track record of winning only one of their last 17 away matches in the league, and taking into account that two of Bologna’s four draws this season came against formidable opponents in Juventus and Napoli, the hosts appear poised to secure all three points in Sunday’s early kickoff.
