Empoli - Roma betting tips and odds

Empoli are no strangers to surprises but with 4.20 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Roma should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 1.83, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Most of us can agree that Empoli didn’t give their best in the previous round against Venezia . The first half went quite well for them, but a lack of decisiveness saw them fumble the lead. They had to settle for a 1:1 draw in that particular away game.

Roma are coming off of a close 1:0 victory against Cagliari. Last round saw them grab an early lead and not let up until the very end – an effective strategy, if a bit dull for the fans at their home stadium.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

It’s clear that The Giallorossi are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Empoli earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2,45 odds are great value.
