Empoli take on the visitors Bologna at “Stadio Carlo Castellani” in the gameweek 35 of the Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, May 7th.
Last round Empoli broke their three-game undefeated run with 1:3 loss to Sassuolo in front of their supporters. That failure had no influence on the team’s position in the standings, “Azzurri” occupy the 17th place in the Serie A with 29 points earned and 23-54 goal difference. At their own turf Empoli picked up 16 points in 17 clashes as the side has not been winning since the 22nd of January across six encounters with only two points gained in them.

Last matchday Bologna ended their four-match no-win streak. Roberto Donadoni’s team thrashed Udinese with 4:0 scoreline in face of its fans. At the moment Bologna occupy the 15th place in the standings with 38 points taken. The team is unlikely to slow down and it means that Bologna have reached their aim for this season in advance and in amazing style: not to relegate to the Serie B. On the road “I Rossoblu” recorded 15 points earned, 15 goals for and 27 goals against in 17 encounters.
In 2016 both head-to-heads against Empoli and Bologna ended with 0:0 draw. Taking into account that the hosts scored on average less than one goal per match, I believe that a number of goals will not be combined by the rivals in the upcoming clash. Especially bearing in mind that the visiting side has fulfilled already its tasks for 2016/2017 season and now it may play on loose.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
