Roma - Empoli predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Empoli may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Empoli, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 7.00.

Roma had to contend with winning a single point in their most recent Serie A matchup. They recorded an HT/FT even though top bookmakers online marked them as the favourites in an away game, which is a bit of a missed opportunity.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.56. They soundly defeated Empoli last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

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

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
