Roma - Empoli betting tips and odds

With the 1.50 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Empoli, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Roma and the 7.25 odds given to Empoli to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Roma lost their previous Serie A game against Napoli , but they did so as clear underdogs. They played as visitors against considerably stronger opposition, who secured an early lead which lead into a narrow 2:1 loss for Roma.

Empoli supporters are likely happy with the 2:2 draw the team recorded in their previous Serie A match against Torino. The 2.60 betting odds were expecting a completely one-sided affair, but Empoli and their home-field advantage took the lead in the first half.

The hosts can boast a 6th spot in the standings, which is not enough to send them to an international competition next season. They have a good shot to earn some points against Empoli, though, so they may just make it yet.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.50 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, The Giallorossi won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

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

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
