Command Analysis

Bologna

Current form
Bologna has been seriously renewed over the summer, changed its coach, and lost its leaders from last season. For this reason, it is not surprising that Vincenzo Italiano's team faced difficulties in the first rounds - they failed to beat Udinese (1:1) in the opening match of the championship. In the second round, the Rossoblu even lost 0:3 to Napoli away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dan Ndoye, Lewis Ferguson, Oussama El Azzouzi and Nicolo Cambiaghi are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bologna have yet to win this season – a draw and a defeat
- Bologna have beaten Empoli in their last two matches
Probable line-up : Skorupski – Lykoyannis, Erlich, Bekema, Posch – Freuler, Moro, Aebischer – Orsolini, Castro, Fabbian.

Empoli

Current form
Before the start of the season, Empoli was considered one of the main candidates for relegation, but in the first rounds they look more than worthy. Roberto D'Aversa's team opened the season with a crushing 4:1 victory over Catanzaro in the Italian Cup. In the first round of the championship, the Azzurri drew 0-0 at home with Monza, and in the last match they created a sensation, beating Roma 2:1 away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Szymon Zurkowski, Tyronn Ebuehi and Samuele Perisan are injured.

3.15Tip and bets
Bologna are still winless in the championship, but they will certainly try to break this streak today. Despite all the achievements at the start, Empoli is a very convenient opponent for the Rossoblu, and the hosts have a serious advantage in class. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite in such a match, the Azzurri are unlikely to be able to achieve success in the fourth match in a row.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Bologna . This outcome is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
Bologna scored only one goal in the previous two matches, but today it makes sense to count on goals from the hosts. Surely the Rossoblu are counting on fighting for the European Cups and will play only for victory today, Empoli's defense is unlikely to be an obstacle. At the same time, the Azzurri are distinguished by excellent implementation, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
Bologna are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
