Salernitana - Empoli betting tips and odds

Empoli will give Salernitana a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.40 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

While Empoli may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.10 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Salernitana will surely have been pleased with a Bologna draw from the previous trip in the Serie A. They return home for the Monday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Empoli played a fairly difficult matchup against Hellas Verona in the previous round. Their home-field advantage spurred them enough to secure an early lead, but they eventually dropped the lead and ended the game with 1:1 on the scoreboard.

With 3 consecutive draws, a bit of a trend seems to be emerging for Empoli. Thankfully, they still have a chance to offer a more decisive performance this time around.

Salernitana’s performance in the Serie A so far has been far from ideal. Their current 10th spot is nothing to write home about, though it’s still too early in the season to make any hard judgments. Moving upward will be no easy task, however, and European football seems like a dream too big at the moment.

The visitors are at a clear disadvantage in a matchup like this, so moving up from their current table position doesn’t seem likely. They’re currently sitting at spot number 14th. On the bright side, most of the season is yet to be played, so they may realize their Europa ambitions yet.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, but one head-to-head records tell a slightly different story. They suffered a harsh defeat by Empoli in the previous season, so their position as favourites is not as sound as it might seem.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.91.
