Prediction: 1-1
Empoli
Bologna will look to build on a 2-1 win over Fiorentina when they take on Empoli in the Serie A round 7. The Rossoblu did well to record their first triumph of the season at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Mussa Barrow as fellow attacker Marko Arnautovic limped off with injury just minutes after scoring the winner against the Viola.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, are eager to record their first win of the process. Empoli’s display in a 2-1 loss to Roma was anything but poor, which is probably the main reason why we predict the visitors are going to hold Bologna to a draw. Both Mattia Destro and Lorenzo Tonelli are sidelined with injuries, while Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro is banned for the match.
