Sassuolo - Empoli predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Although Sassuolo are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Atalanta , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The away team are coming on the back of a surprise draw in their recent home game. Their opponents Fiorentina took an early lead, and most Serie A betting predictions assumed they would turn it into an away win. However, Empoli equalised before the end and snatched an unexpected point.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, Sassuolo will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

With the season’s end looming over their heads, the hosts will have to act fast if they want to avoid relegation. Winning this matchup would not be easy, but would be a great step towards the 0 points they need.

A finish in the upper parts of the table seems increasingly unlikely for Empoli with each passing round. After 26 games, they’re number 16th in the standings, which is too close to the relegation zone for comfort. More alarmingly, earning any points in this matchup would be quite difficult.

The last time these two teams met Sassuolo managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 2.02 odds.
