Empoli

Current form
Empoli approached the start of the season as one of the main contenders for relegation - in the summer, the Tuscans sold several important players and it was difficult to compete with the existing selection of players.

However, the Azzurri gradually lost their form and are already in 15th place in the table, only one point away from the relegation zone. Having lost 1:3 to Inter in the last round, Empoli extended their winless streak to six matches.

1.75Tip and bets
Empoli are in crisis and are one point away from the relegation zone - it is obvious that today the hosts will take risks and try to take all three points. Bologna spent a lot of energy in the Champions League this week, and in a few days the Rossoblu will have to play Sporting there again. Empoli will undoubtedly try to take advantage of the situation and will probably aggressively go forward already in the first half - the Azzurri score regularly, despite the crisis, and Bologna have not kept a clean sheet in their last five matches.

Bet on the outcome
Empoli looks far from hopeless in the game, but they are not able to cling to points in every match. Today, without a doubt, the Azzurri will be maximally motivated, there is a risk of ending up in the relegation zone in the near future, and the opponent will play three matches in a week and will be forced to use rotation. However, even in this situation, it will be difficult to beat Bologna, which has gained momentum, but the hosts are quite capable of playing a strong match and clinging to a draw, in general, such an outcome will satisfy both sides.
