Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:

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.

✅ Stats before the game

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).
