Bologna, Recent FormBologna had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Monza. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
There will be mixed feelings from I Rossoblù, while they've been undefeated in their last 5 league games, they've drawn their last 3.
Empoli, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Salernitana in their last league game, Empoli will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Salernitana's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Aurelio Andreazzoli will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 1 goal, conceded 13, and picked up a meagre 3 points. Although failing to score in 5 of their last 6 games and having conceded at least one goal in 5 of those games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
Empoli recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Azzurri have managed to keep a clean sheet against Bologna in each of their previous 2 visits to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Playing away from home, Empoli have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bologna.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Empoli has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Bologna in 4 games.
Bologna manager Thiago Motta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jhon Lucumí (Ligament), Stefan Posch (Hamstring) and Adama Soumaoro (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Aurelio Andreazzoli has a number of injury concerns in his Empoli squad to contend with: Elia Caprile (Ankle), Francesco Caputo (Muscle), Ardian Ismajli (Muscle) and Daniel Maldini (Muscle)
