- Venue: Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna)
Bologna have another great season. With only five Serie A rounds left, the team from Stadio Renato Dell'Ara is fourth on the table, so Vincenzo Italiano's team has a chance for another Champions League appearance. Bologna are in brilliant form lately, with seven wins in the last nine matches. Last weekend, they won 1-0 at home against Inter Milan. In a game that was fairly even, Italiano's team shocked the league leader and secured all three points.
Empoli are in danger of relegation. They are one point behind safety, and although success in Coppa Italia is tempting, the focus should be on Serie A, as every point could be crucial. Empoli's recent run of eight games in a row without victory doesn't give too much optimism, either. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home against Venezia. That was the perfect opportunity for all three points, but the guests had much higher xG, so Empoli can be very satisfied with not going away empty-handed.
Bologna vs Empoli pick: Bologna to win and cover AH -1.5 spread
In the first leg, Bologna won 3-0 on the road against Empoli. In that game, Bologna finished the game with an xG of 2.02, while the home side had only 0.32. We shouldn't expect much different game on Thursday night, so Bologna to cover the AH -1.5 spread should be the best bet for this tie.
