Italy – Serie A | Empoli VS Bologna; Saturday, 16 March at 03:45 GMT +8

Empoli, currently in danger zone after two consecutive defeats, is only one point ahead of Frosinona. With only 10 rounds remaining, home ground matches are crucial for their survival, as their current worst attack in the league.

Bologna, the second-best home team in the league, has unexpectedly been given the opportunity to compete in the Champions League for the first time in the new competition format, currently having an advantage over Roma and Atalanta.

Azzurri may employ a 3-5-2 system, with Elia Caprile, Bartosz Bereszynski, S. Walukiewicz, and others starting.

Bologna boss Thiago Motta faces limited availability for a team, with limited options like Adama Soumaoro, Joshua Zirkzee, and Jesper Karlsson. Rossoblu may use a 4-1-4-1 system.

Predicted lineups:

Empoli

Goalkeeper: Elia Caprile
Defenders: Sebastiano Luperto, S. Walukewicz, Bartosz Bereszynski
