Monza - Empoli betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 2.15, the bookies made it clear that Monza are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Empoli seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.90, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Plenty of bookies were relatively optimistic about the chances Monza had to take the 3 points in their latest matchup against Salernitana, though it would be difficult to call them hard favourites. The first half ended in a stalemate, though, and things went south quickly in the late game, culminating in a 3:0 away loss.

Empoli played against Napoli last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 0:2 home loss. The 1.50 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Empoli and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Serie A clash tells a different story. Monza lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.40 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
