The start of the season shows how much influence coach Thiago Motta and forward Joshua Zirksee had on the result at Bologna. It should be recalled that the former took charge of Juventus and the latter moved to Manchester United. Without their two main stars of the last season, Bologna have not won a single victory in Serie A so far. First, the Rossoblu, now led by Vincenzo Italiano, drew 1:1 with Bologna on home soil, and then lost 0:3 away to Napoli.

The Blues also changed their head coach in the off-season. Roberto D'Aversa was appointed in place of Davide Nicola, who saved the team from relegation. So far, the bet on the new coach is working. In the first round Empoli managed to pick up points at home against Monza - 0:0, and in the second round - beat Roma away with a score of 2:1. Also, before the start of the championship Tuscans reached the round of 32 of the Italian Cup, defeating home Catanazaro 4:1.

At the start of the season, Bologna is having problems, although they are among the leaders in terms of chances created - 3.85 xG with one goal scored. Perhaps in the upcoming game luck will be on the side of the Red-Blues and they will manage to score 1-2 goals. At the same time, we don't believe that Empoli will finish the match without a goal. Without Tiago Motta, Bologna will no longer be one of the best defences in Italy, while Empoli are becoming a more attacking team under Roberto D'Aversa.
