Empoli - Hellas Verona betting tips and odds

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Empoli will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Hellas Verona.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Empoli showed some character in their previous Serie A outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Empoli kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Lecce draw.

Verona are coming off from a narrow home defeat against Atalanta. Most bookmakers online anticipated the 0:1 result, but it should be mentioned that they went toe-to-toe with Atalanta for the first 45 minutes.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Hellas Verona’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.18.
