Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Napoli when they take on Empoli in the Serie A round 3 on Sunday. All Cambiaghi, El Azzouzi, and Ferguson are sidelined with injuries, while Erlic should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury against the Partenopei. Santiago Castro should continue leading the line for the hosts.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, did well to shock AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico in their last league match and given Bologna’s slow start to the season, we predict that the visitors will grab something from Saturday’s encounter as well. Alberto Grassi is back from suspension, while all Ebuehi, Perisan, Zurkowski, and Belardinelli remain on the sidelines with injuries. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous five meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
