Empoli vs Bologna Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals

A potentially entertaining encounter could be on the cards on Saturday evening with both teams seeing plenty of high-scoring outcomes in recent weeks. 

Bologna returns to Serie A action after a thrilling come-from-behind UCL victory against Dortmund on Tuesday. After a difficult debut campaign which had seen them pick up just two points from their first six league fixtures, Vincenzo Italiano´s men staged a stirring fightback at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, with two goals in two minutes securing a famous 2:1 win for the Italians. 

Similarly entertaining outcomes have been frequent for Bologna with each of their last five matches seeing BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. I Rossoblù scored at least two goals in all five matches.

Empoli come into Saturday's Serie A fixture now winless in six matches after a 3:1 defeat against Inter at the San Siro last weekend. Roberto D'Aversa´s side picked up just one point since a 4:1 win at Verona six weeks ago.

Despite failing to win any of their last six matches, Empoli have managed to score in all but two of their last 12 games, suggesting they can test a Bologna side potentially fatigued after their midweek European exploits. 

Given both teams recent results, over 2.5 goals and BTTS both look like solid choices and I´m splitting my stake on both outcomes.
