Monza - Empoli predictions

Monza are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Serie A, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.91, it’s not very likely to happen.

The most likely outcome of this match is Empoli walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

It might have been a slim Udinese victory but Monza had not expected anything when they prepared for their previous Serie A fixture in the first place. As overwhelming underdogs, they will have been elated ahead of their Sunday clash.

Empoli’s victory against Parma in the previous round of the Serie A was narrow, but it agreed with most betting predictions. They dominated the pitch from start to finish and the fans at their home stadium were quite pleased.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Monza have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Empoli’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

The home team are in a tight spot. Having already lost bunch of matches in the league, they are set to welcome Empoli in a tough game that could decide their faith. Bookmakers do not give them big chances of winning at 4.91 so if you believe in miracles, go easy on the stake.

Empoli must feel disheartened and disappointed ahead of their trip to Stadio Comunale Brianteo. However, there is no time for self-pity as they are made firm favourites to win the next match at 1.76 at bookamkers.

The previous season of the Serie A saw Monza defeat Empoli in a fairly spectacular manner and a strong lead. Most betting predictions are expecting things to go very differently this time, as you can see through the 1.76 betting odds for an away win.

On top of being considered underdogs, the home team is forced to play with a limited roster. With Roberto Gagliardini, Armando Izzo, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Dany Mota, Luca Caldirola all unavailable due to injury, they have very limited means at their disposal to beat the odds.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.10 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
