Empoli - Atalanta predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 5.86, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Empoli don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Atalanta are expected to have no hiccups going past Empoli in this match and betting odds offered by the world’s top bookmakers are there to confirm it.

Empoli want to forget their previous Serie A match. Playing away from home they conceded early in the first half and never recovered. As a result, the Udinese away defeat is definitely something they want to put behind them as soon as possible.

Atalanta’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Cagliari produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 0:0 draw.

Empoli have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Serie A matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Serie A matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Empoli have to start earning points if they want to avoid getting dragged into the relegation tussle this season. With 1 point above the drop zone, every point they get will count. However, knowing they are priced at 5.86 to beat Atalanta this Sunday, their fans will have little to hope for.

The end of the season will be here before you know it and Atalanta are stepping up their efforts to join the title race. Heading into the Sunday clash, they have every right to hope for three points knowing that even online bookies have them priced as hot favourites to win at 1.58 betting odds.

The two squads already met this season in the Serie A. As expected, Atalanta took the win, though the match was a bit close. Either way, Empoli have no history of beating the odds in this particular matchup.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Ardian Ismajli, Jacopo Fazzini, Faustino Anjorin have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.75 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
