Round 29 of Serie A gets underway at the Carlo Castellani Stadium with a tense matchup between Empoli and Bologna. This Empoli vs. Bologna match is crucial for both teams as the season rushes to its finish.

Their Recent Performance in Matches

Under Davide Nicola's careful supervision, Empoli has fought its way out of the relegation struggle and has even adopted a more deliberate style of play. Recent data, however, has presented a concerning image. Empoli's weaknesses were revealed by consecutive 0-1 losses to relegation opponents Cagliari and Milan. Empoli has a meager one-point buffer above the drop zone, therefore points are crucial to ensuring their Serie A survival.

Bologna, on the other hand, is the season's unexpected revelation. They're in a fantastic situation, thanks to Thiago Motta's wise leadership. Bologna, who are currently in fourth position, has a real possibility of making it into the elite Champions League for the first time ever in the club's existence. Nevertheless, a close 0-1 loss to Inter ended their incredible run of six straight victories, shocking them.

Bologna has a fantastic chance to confirm their Champions League dreams in the next three games. There are favorable matches coming up against Frosinone, Salernitana, and Empoli. However, the fact that Joshua Zirkzee, their top scorer, will miss time due to injury represents a serious setback.

Predictions On The Empoli vs Bologna Match

Lately, Empoli has grown into a powerful force at home, which presents challenges for visiting clubs. This Empoli vs Bologna match is expected to be low-scoring due to Zirkzee's absence and Empoli's strong defense. A thrilling tactical fight between Nicola and Motta is expected because both teams are gunning for points. Serie A fans should not miss this match because Empoli will definitely benefit from the enthusiastic home crowd at the Carlo Castellani.
