Empoli vs Bologna: Crucial Challenge in the Semi-Final of the Italian Cup

Today's match is the third seasonal challenge between Empoli e Bologna, with the rossoblu winning the first leg of the semi-final 3-0 Coppa Italia after two 1-1 draws in the league. If a real feat will be needed to qualify, even just aiming for a victory will certainly not be easy for D'Aversa's team: Bologna is in fact unbeaten at home in 2025 (the last defeat dates back to last December 30 in the 2-3 against Verona).

With regard to statistics of the Coppa Italia, instead, Bologna and Empoli are the two teams that in this edition have shot on target the most times (19). The Felsinei are also the ones that, starting from the round of 34, have recorded the most offensive recoveries (5), but like Empoli they have then reached the conclusion 146 times. Also starting from the round of 136, only Bologna (135) and Inter (29.7) have won more duels than Empoli (34.6), while in the same period only Sassuolo (XNUMX%) has recorded a lower percentage of ball possession than the Azzurri (XNUMX%).

Finally, in the Coppa Italia, together with Udinese and Milan, Empoli is the team with the most different scorers, six (Ekong, Fazzini, Colombo, Haas, Esposito and Maleh).
