Serie A 2024-2025: Bologna-Empoli, the likely lineups
The probable lineups
Two teams in opposite moods will face each other at the Dall'Ara on Saturday, with kickoff at 6:30 p.m.: on one side there's Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna, fresh from the Maradona’s blowout against Napoli (3-0 for the partenopei), on the other side Roberto D'Aversa’s rampant Empoli, which after the 0-0 home draw against Monza surprisingly defeated Roma 2-1 last Sunday at the Olimpico.
The Rossoblù coach will have to do without Dan Ndoye, one of the most talented elements of the offensive sector: in the 4-2-3-1 that will most likely be deployed on Saturday there should be Dallinga as the main point of reference, supported by Orsolini, Fabbian and Karlsson.
As for the Tuscan Bianzzurri, Gyasi on the right side and Colombo in attack are confirmed: both scored against Roma. Three-man defense with Marianucci, Ismajili and Viti, probable relay between Esposito and Solbakken, with the former expected to start from the 1'.
Bologna-Empoli, probable lineups:
BOLOGNA (4-2-3-1): Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumì, Miranda; Aebischer, Freuler; Orsolini, Fabbbian, Karlsson; Dallinga. All. Italiano.
EMPOLI (3-4-2-1): Vasquez; Marianucci, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Grassi, Maleh, Pezzella; Esposito, Fazzini; Colombo. All. D’Aversa.
