Empoli - Fiorentina predictions

The 3.80 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

With 2.13 odds for an away win, Fiorentina have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Empoli have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Serie A performance. Their opponents Salernitana were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Empoli pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 1:3 away win.

La Viola’s previous Serie A bout ended up with them playing from behind throughout, ultimately recording a 2:0 defeat. The odds were stacked against them from before kick-off, though. They were the clear underdogs in that matchup against Bologna, and couldn’t count on the support of their home fans either.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Serie A engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Fiorentina are more likely to win this game despite the issues they’ve had with Empoli earlier in the season. They were the hosts the last time we saw these two teams clash, and yet lost the game to a considerable goal difference.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.05, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
