Hellas Verona - Empoli predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

At 3.65 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Empoli are well aware of it themselves.

Hellas Verona’s latest Serie A match could have gone much worse than the Inter defeat. Knowing they were priced at huge 21.00 to win, a narrow HT/FT loss is nothing to be too disappointed with.

Empoli are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Milan. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 5.50 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Empoli struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:3.

Verona have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visiting team have had very bad luck when it comes to their concession rate. In the past 3 home games, they conceded more than 5 goals.

Verona are currently near the bottom of the table. Relegation is by no means a sure thing yet, but they are treading on dangerous grounds. Though the upcoming clash with Empoli will not be easy, it’s a great chance to move up to a safer spot.

Empoli will need to make a hard turn to avoid disaster this season, and they’ll need to do it soon. Though there’s a good chunk of the season still ahead of them, the upcoming matchups are not exactly favourable.

A clash between these two teams last season ended in a stalemate. Overall, this was worse news for Hellas Verona, who are widely considered the stronger team.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Jacopo Fazzini, Gabriele Guarino, Tyronne Ebuehi, Giuseppe Pezzella, Bartosz Bereszyński, Viktor Kovalenko. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.75. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
