Command Analysis
Bologna
ItalyCurrent form
Bologna seriously updated the squad in the summer, the restructuring was forced – many key players were sold, Thiago Motta was promoted to Juventus. Vincenzo Italiano became the new coach of Rossoblu, under whom a large–scale transfer campaign was carried out in the summer - many purchases, as time has shown, have fully justified themselves and there will surely be great demand for players again in the summer.
Bologna had plenty of problems in the first round, and for a long time it took them to get in shape and get out of the bottom of the table, but they managed to improve. At a time when Rossoblu had already been written off by many, even from among the potential candidates for European competitions, Bologna had a powerful winning streak and had already reached the Champions League zone, where it probably plans to gain a foothold.
At the moment, Bologna occupies the fourth place in the table with 60 points in the asset and is one point ahead of Juventus, who played a match less, Roma is three points away. They managed to break into fourth place due to a bright and emotional 1-0 victory over Inter in the last round, which returned Rossoblu to the fight for the Champions League and escalated the intrigue in the championship race to the limit.
Disqualifications and injuries
Calabria, Skorupski and Ferguson are injured.

Empoli
ItalyCurrent form
Empoli was initially preparing for a very difficult season – they managed to strengthen the squad in the summer, but even so, the Toscans were inferior to some direct competitors in terms of player selection, without being the main outsider in the upcoming battle for survival. The team of Roberto D'Aversa spent the starting segment at a very high level and even managed to visit the European Cup zone.
Predictably, it was not possible to gain a foothold in the top half of the table, and Empoli gradually sank lower and lower, and then completely fell into a serious crisis. It has not been possible to fully stop him so far, as a result of his fall into the relegation zone, but so far the situation has not turned into a disaster, and the management continues to trust the mentor, hoping for salvation.
Empoli currently occupies 19th place in the table with 25 points in the asset and is one point behind the saving 17th line - the whole struggle for survival is still ahead. In the last round, the Azzurri faced a direct competitor in Venice and had no right to make mistakes, but in the end they barely saved a 2-2 draw in the end and extended their winless streak in all tournaments to 20 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Haas, Sazonov, Pellegri, Ismayli, Malech, Jurkowski and Kouame are injured.

2.27Tip and bets
Bologna had already decided everything in this confrontation in the first match, having shipped three goals against Empoli. Obviously, the Rossoblu will use rotation today ahead of the match against Udinese in the championship, but they will certainly play boldly and only to win, the Rossoblu are impressive at home. Empoli, in turn, will clearly seek revenge, the Toscans are unlikely to be able to fully revive the intrigue, but at the same time, the result of the first match relieves serious pressure and Bologna is unlikely to be able to win back to zero in the second match of the semi-finals in a row, it makes sense to count on an exchange of goals.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.25
Betting on the outcome
Bologna will obviously resort to rotation today, but it is unlikely that the reshuffle will be too large and weaken the team, Rossoblu's reserve is of very decent quality. Bologna is practically invulnerable at home, demonstrated its superiority over its opponent in the first match and will certainly not hold the advantage today, but will play from a position of strength to win. Empoli will certainly try to resist, but today the Toscans are objectively weaker, it makes sense to count on Rossoblu's victory in the return leg.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Bologna. This bet is offered for 1.79
Combined bid
Bologna is in great shape, it is traditionally very strong at home, and despite the serious advantage gained in the first match, it will clearly strive to win today. The Rossoblu are quite capable of winning at home, Empoli has been in crisis for a long time and the Toscans no longer have much motivation after the first match. At the same time, there is no serious pressure on the guests for the result, the Azzurri can well afford to play openly and respond with their own goal.
The bet is a victory for Bologna and both will score. This bet is offered for 3.85
