Free Prediction and Betting Tips for Bologna vs Empoli
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Bologna Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals – 1.55
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Bologna -0.5 Corners Handicap – 1.70
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Correct Score 1-1 – 6.60
Bologna Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
The Rossoblu won five of their 11 matches at the Renato Dall’Ara and drew one making them the tenth best home team in Serie A. Moreover, Bologna’s last seven and Empoli’s last six games saw over 1.5 goals. As a result, we think this combo bet has a high probability of success.
Bologna -0.5 Corners Handicap
Playing against tough oppositions, coach Mihajlovic adopts defensive tactics which will result in fewer corners than their opponents. However, against Empoli, we predict Bologna to win as many corners as their season average suggests which is 5.73 at home which is more than almost one corner than Empoli’s average of 4.91 in away games.
Correct Score 1-1
Both teams have equal chances in this match and looking at their recent form, a draw is a big possibility. The score 1-1 happened in Empoli’s two away games since last November against Venezia and Spezia. Empoli will be content with another 1-1 score in Bologna.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Bologna vs Empoli
Bologna are expected to bounce back from a three-match losing streak since the beginning of the year. In addition, the Rossoblu lost their last three home games against Fiorentina, Juventus, and Napoli.
Boss Sinisa Mihajlovic will be aware that his team is suffering at the back and needs better defensive strategies. To explain, Bologna let in six goals in their last three fixtures and are averaging 1.45 goals conceded per home game since the start of the current Serie A campaign.
The picture is similar on the offensive front for the Rossoblu having the same average concerning goals scored. Aurelio Andreazzoli’s team collected just three points from their last six games. Like their hosts, Empoli are looking for their first win of 2022 after drawing two and losing two of their four matches since the start of the year.
However, the Blues have not lost in their last five trips, winning one and drawing four of those games. In addition, before the recent six-game slump the Azzurri had some outstanding performances by beating top teams and playing some impressive football.
Sebouh Babikian Bologna vs Empoli Prediction
Had this match been played a month ago, all bookies would favor Empoli to win. However, Bologna are the favorites to win with odds of 2.02 as opposed to Empoli’s 3.67. Surely, Empoli players have eased down after a good first half of the season and are not able to find a victory in recent weeks. With a 36% possibility, we predict this match will end in a draw.
Safe Bet
The double chance for the first half result in this match of a draw or away win has odds of 1.50. Clearly, we will focus on the drawing part of the bet since Bologna’s two of their last three matches saw the first half ended in a stalemate. Hence this will be our safe bet.
Bologna vs Empoli First Goalscorer
Ricardo Orsolini is an Italian player who plays for Bologna on the right or left-wing. Notably, the 25-year-old scored four goals and has two assists in ten appearances for Bologna. He has been on fire recently scoring in three of his last four games. We will back Orsolini to open the scoring of the match as he has done on three occasions.
