Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Verona when they host Empoli to their Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Matchday 24. The Rossoblu produce much better showings at home than on the travels, and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. Hickey is banned for the hosts, while both Dominguez and Kingsley remain in the treatment room.
Mbaye represents Senegal at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, but Barrow is back from international duty. To make things even better for the hosts, defender Adama Soumaoro returns to the starting XI after serving his ban in the defeat to Verona. The Azzurri, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Roma, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men. All Di Francesco, Parisi, Haas, Luperto, and Marchizza are injured for the away side.
