Empoli vs Bologna Prediction & Betting Tips (1 April)

It's a surprise to see this team of Empoli in the semi-finals, but not really in view of their fairly exceptional journey. First logical winners of Catanzaro D2, 4-1, and the Torino 1-2, the case was full of quarters with a success against the FIO 2-3 and in quarters against Juve 1-2. A real feat, especially since the season does not go well in Serie A, the Empoli is relegated 18th and already accuses 3 points behind the first non -relegation. It has been 14 games that this training has no longer won 11 losses, 3 draws, with recent defeats against the Torino 1-0 and AS Rome 0-1 before the truce. Bologne only entered the 1/8-8th finals and easily beat Monza 4-0, before leaving the Atalanta in the quarterfinals 1-0.

A less impressive course but this semi-final is not a surprise and deserved in view of the season made by this team again. The start of the season was difficult in Serie A, and also during the league phase in C1. Eliminated because only 28th, it was difficult to juggle all these matches for a team that was not used to such high level. But 5 victories on the last 6 Serie A notably, including the last against Lazio 5-0, allow them to enter the top 4 synonymous with a new qualification for the Champions League at the end of the season. 

Many injuries within this Empoli workforce will still corp the things. The list is long: Anjorin, Fazzini, Haas, Maleh, Pellgrini, Sazonov, Solbakken, Viti and Zurkowski were in the infirmary before the break and should always be fair for this match. Among the key players who will be present, we find the young attacker loaned by Inter, Exposito (8 goals in Serie A), a fio player loaned, Kouamé, or boys like Pezzella, Henderson and Gyasi who apply for a holder's place. Lorenzo Colombo is the second top scorer in the team behind Exposito, with 5 goals scored. No absence to note on the side of Bologna which can tackle this full match.

There is therefore a fairly impressive bench depth which allows the Italiano coach to make turnovers quite often. But the majority of 11 is very often made up of boys like Calabria (ex-Milan), Skorupski in the cages, Juan Miranda, Lucumi or Ferguson and Freulaler for the defensive sector. In front, a quartet seems to take shape with Orsolini (10 goals in Serie A), Odgaard (6 goals), Ndoye (7 goals, 3 passes) and the promising young Castro (8 goals, 4 assists) who took an option on the competition in front of Dallinga (ex-TFC).
