Competition: Serie A

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

In a Serie A showdown that could see chances come at both ends of the pitch, Bologna will host Empoli on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, managing to find a welcomed boost last weekend, Bologna will be desperate to build off of that success here. In their opening six Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a single victory, three draws and two defeats, scoring seven and conceding nine in return. Managing to muster a points tally of six from a possible 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 12th in the standings and one-point adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up an impressive 2-1 victory at home against Fiorentina, that result drew an end to their five-match winless run. Likewise, it should also be noted, including each of their previous three Serie A matchups, Bologna have seen five of their first six contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, in the midst of what has been a worrying start to the 2022/23 campaign, Empoli find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their opening six Serie A matchups so far this season, they are yet to record a single win, with four draws against two defeats, scoring five and conceding seven in return. Managing to muster a points tally of four from a possible 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 16th and holding a two-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against Roma, Empoli have failed to win any of their first seven domestic matchups across all formats. However, with Saturday’s guests seeing each of their previous four contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
