Match preview: Bologna vs Empoli
Bologna and Empoli meet at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in a second leg match of this stage of the Coppa Italia (semifinals), following Bologna’s 3-0 victory in the first leg. Historically, this venue has shown a balanced record between these two teams with 2 draws and 1 victory each from the last 4 encounters. The last match held at this stadium occurred on 31-08-2024, ending in a 1-1 draw. Goals were netted by Giovanni Fabbian (2′) for Bologna and Emmanuel Gyasi (3′) for Empoli. The home advantage should play a crucial role, given the significant disparity in results between home and away matches for both sides.
Team analysis: Bologna
This team thrives at home, performing better in front of their fans. In the last 30 matches, Bologna has recorded 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses away, scoring 18 goals while conceding 16. Conversely, at home, they claim 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, netting 34 goals and allowing only 14. Bologna arrives at this match following a 1-0 home victory against Inter, with the sole goal scored by Riccardo Orsolini. They have won 8 and drawn 2 of their last 10 home fixtures across all competitions. Their attack has been consistently effective, scoring in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 matches this season, they have only managed to overturn the score in 2 out of 5 matches where they conceded first. Notably, in their last 20 home matches, they registered 13 of their 36 goals between the 61st and 75th minutes.
Bologna’s recent form shows their capability to compete effectively. The latest victory was a testament to their strength, and with the return leg ahead, they will look to maintain their home advantage. The team’s tactical setup typically features a 4-3-3 formation, utilising Benja Domínguez, Dan Nndoye, and Thijs Dallinga in the attacking roles. The left flank is often exploited thanks to the depth provided by defender Juan Miranda, which is a key asset for Bologna’s attack. Missing from the squad due to injuries are Nicolò Casale, Lewis Ferguson, and Lukasz Skorupski.
Team analysis: Empoli
Empoli interestingly have shown a better record away than at home, with 1 win, 7 draws, and 7 defeats in their last 30 away matches compared to their home statistics of 1 win, 5 draws, and 9 losses. They come into this match after a 2-2 draw at home against Venezia. In their last 10 competitive fixtures, Empoli has managed just 1 win, alongside 3 draws and 6 losses. Their defensive solidity has been a concern, having conceded at least a goal in each of the last 5 matches. Conversely, their offense has been relatively active, scoring in 4 of the last 5 fixtures. Away matches tend to feature goals, as 22 of their last 23 games have ended with over 1.5 goals. Out of the 15 games played, they could not recover from being behind in 9 instances where they conceded the first goal.
Empoli’s latest result was a 2-2 draw against Venezia, with goals from Jacopo Fazzini and Tino Anjorin. In the semifinal of the Coppa Italia, they lost to Bologna 0-3. Typically, the visiting team adopts a 3-4-3 tactical setup, relying on Sebastiano Esposito, Jacopo Fazzini, and Lorenzo Colón as their main attacking threats. In the midfield, Alberto Grassi plays a pivotal role, orchestrating the play and creating attacking opportunities. The following players will be unavailable for this match due to injuries: Nicolas Haas, Christian Kouamé, Ardian Ismajli, Pietro Pellegri, Szymon Żurkowski, and Youssef Maleh.
