Empoli will host the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final against Bologna on Tuesday. The two sides are on contrasting runs in the season but this is their real chance at silverware. Let’s have a look at the prediction going into this match.
Empoli aren’t doing so well heading into this match, coming off a 1-1 draw with Como in Serie A. Christian Kouame’s goal in the game was Empoli’s third in the last five matches.
In the last 16 outings, Azzurri Empolesi’s only win came through post-match penalties, in the Coppa Italia quarters, against Juventus. They eliminated Juventus, Fiorentina, Toirino and Catanzaro to get to this stage.
Bologna are coming into this match on a much stronger run. Their 1-0 away win at Venezia on Saturday marked a fifth consecutive win and second straight clean sheet.
In their last 16 matches, Bologna’s only defeat was at Parma. They will hope not to fall to another side sitting low in the league standings.
In their previous 16 matches, I Rossoblu posted 10 wins, one of them a 1-0 win at Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarters. By virtue of their high finish last season, Bologna got a bye in the first two rounds.
Therefore, they arrive here having beaten Monza 4-0 in their other Coppa Italia match.

Our Empoli vs Bologna Prediction
Bologna have already improved on their finish in Coppa Italia last season. They will be eyeing a slot in the final, to face either Inter Milan or AC Milan. In the first of this two-legged tie, they have the chance to stretch their dominance against Empoli to five undefeated matches.
Empoli’s form coming into this tie doesn’t look so promising. Apart from their struggles against Bologna, they are winless in regular time in their last 16 matches. In the same run, Bologna won 10 times. Our prediction for Empoli v Bologna is that Bologna wins the match.
