Atalanta - Empoli betting tips and odds

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Empoli will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Atalanta are coming off from a harsh home defeat (2:0). Considering the difficult match-up against Napoli and the home-field disadvantage, the result was entirely predictable, even after the draw at half-time.

Empoli’s most recent Serie A appearance was in a home game, and it did not go their way. They went into the bout as the underdogs and lost largely due to a tiebreaker in the second half

Empoli are coming on the back of 3 consecutive defeats. The season is not a disaster for them quite yet – though it’s getting there.

The end of the season is rapidly approaching, so the top Serie A placements are highly contested. Atalanta are quite high up the table at 6th, and they’re likely to further cement that position in this matchup.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Atalanta are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Friday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betsson priced at 2.25 odds.
