Check out the Italian Serie A Week 3 Results Live Scores happening on Friday 30, Saturday 31, August and Sunday 1 September! I’m excited to share that the Italian Serie A is set to kick off again on September 15 with Round 4. During the international break, some of our Serie A stars will be representing their countries in the UEFA Nations League and various friendlies.
👉 🇮🇹 I encourage you to check out this post and click on the links for real-time Serie A stats, lineups, Standings, and more.
As we wrap up Serie A Week 3, there have been some interesting developments. Roma held Juventus to a goalless draw, which is disappointing news for Juve as they lost their sole lead in the standings. Juventus now shares the top spot with Inter, Torino, and Udinese, all sitting at 7 points. Meanwhile, Roma finds themselves in 16th place with just 2 points. On a brighter side, Thiago Motta got to evaluate his new players, with Conceicao making a solid impression. De Rossi, on the other hand, chose to rotate between Soulé and Paulo Dybala, with the legendary player making his entrance in the second half.
Lecce celebrated their first win of the season, moving up from the bottom after defeating Venezia 1-0. Unfortunately, AC Milan is still searching for their first victory, as they ended up in a 2-2 draw with Lazio. On a brighter note, Napoli pulled off an exciting comeback to win 2-1 against Parma, with goals from new signing Romelu Lukaku, Anguissa, and Bonny. This victory lifts Napoli to fourth place with 6 points, while Parma drops to ninth with 4 points.
Torino secures a win, bringing their points total to 7. Venice, despite putting up a strong performance, stays stuck at just one point. In the second half, Torino bounced back and scored the decisive goal through Saul Coco.
It was a thrilling one-sided showdown! Inter humiliated Atalanta 4-0 at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Thanks to this victory, Inter has extended their unbeaten streak to 12 league matches against Atalanta, with an impressive record of 7 wins and 5 draws.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Empoli, 7th position with 4 points and a positive goal difference of +1
Bologna, 17th position with 1 point and a negative goal difference of -3
The Serie A Week 3 between Bologna and Empoli ended with a draw on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. Bologna now has two points in the standings, just one more than Venezia, who sit at the bottom. D’Aversa’s Empoli has accumulated five points, currently placing them fourth, just two points shy of the leaders Inter and Torino.
Fabbian scoring in the 2nd minute and Gyasi equalizing just a minute later. The first half was filled with action and goals, but the second half saw a lack of excitement, allowing Empoli to maintain their unbeaten run and continue their fight for survival. Bologna, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm in attack and remains winless in this season’s league.
Looking ahead, Bologna will face Como after the break, while Empoli will take on Juventus at the Castellani.
Last season, Bologna triumphed in both encounters against Empoli. Interestingly, the Emilians have never managed to secure three straight wins over the Tuscans in Serie A history. Will they break that streak, or will Empoli claim the win?
Bologna and Empoli have met 20 times in Serie A. The Azzurri have a narrow advantage with seven wins, compared to the Emilians’ six. There are also seven draws to round out their encounters.
The start of the game…
What a quick goal! Just two minutes in, Giovanni Fabbian found the net for Bologna with a right-footed shot from close range after a corner given away by Ardian Ismajli.

Are you serious? Empoli quickly bounced back, scoring just a minute after Bologna’s goal. In the 3rd minute, Emmanuel Gyasi equalized for Empoli with a header from close range, sending the ball into the bottom right corner, assisted by a lovely cross from Giuseppe Pezzella.

Bologna have kept a clean sheet in their last two games against Empoli in Serie A, only once have they recorded more clean sheets in a row against the Azzurri in the tournament: four between 1998 and 2003. Great balance in the last six matches between Bologna and Empoli in Serie A at the home of the rossoblù: two wins each and two draws – 3-0 victory at the Dall’Ara in the most recent one (1 October 2023).
Bologna have won only one of their last seven Serie A games (4N, 2P): 2-0 against Napoli last 11 May. Furthermore, after the defeat in the most recent match, the rossoblù could lose two games in a row in the league for the first time since January 2023.
Bologna have drawn their last four games at the Dall’Ara in the league, only once in their history have they recorded more home draws in a row: six between May and November 1981.
After the draw against Monza and the victory against Roma, Empoli could remain unbeaten in all of their first three Serie A games of the season for only the second time in their history, after 2006/07 (1W, 2D in that case with Luigi Cagni as coach). Empoli won their most recent league match (2-1 against Roma) and have not achieved two wins in a row in Serie A since May 2023 (in that case against Bologna and Salernitana).
