This victory continues Bologna's strong form in the Coppa Italia, building on their 3-0 win in the first leg. They have also been performing well in Serie A, recently defeating Inter. Empoli, on the other hand, has struggled, failing to win in their last five matches across all competitions. Bologna's next game is against Udinese in Serie A, where they will look to continue their winning streak. Udinese has been in poor form, losing their last five matches.
Empoli faces a tough challenge in their next game against Fiorentina, who have been performing relatively well. Bologna's tactical flexibility, demonstrated by their 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, and Empoli's preference for a 3-5-2 formation will likely be key factors in their upcoming matches. In previous encounters, Bologna have had the upper hand over Empoli, winning their last Coppa Italia match (first leg of the semi-finals) 3-0. Bologna is expected to leverage their strong form and tactical setup to secure another victory against Udinese, while Empoli will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and improve their attacking output to stand a chance against Fiorentina. Bologna's recent success in Coppa Italia compared to their previous games makes them a strong contender for this season.
