Lecce - 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.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Empoli seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.87, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Lecce’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Milan as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:0 loss for Lecce.

Empoli supporters were amazed last round by the squad’s surprise victory against Torino. They had the home-field advantage, but the 2.33 odds were still stacked heavily against them. Despite the unfavourable conditions, though, they ended up recording a narrow HT/FT victory.

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

As the season advances, the bottom-placed teams will be scrambling to get out of the relegation zone. Lecce are 3 points above these teams, but the battle is far from over.

Though they’re not in the relegation zone, Empoli would certainly breathe a lot easier knowing that there was more than 2 points between them. Unfortunately, they’re not very likely to walk away with any points in a matchup like this. Worse yet, the end of the season is approaching rapidly.

Even though we’ve seen Lecce and Empoli clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

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 1.65.
