Empoli - Torino predictions

While Empoli winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Torino, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Despite playing away, Torino are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.34, we’re in for a close game.

Empoli’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Inter as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for Empoli.

Torino managed to win their latest home outing against Monza, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

Whenever we see a match at Stadio Carlo Castellani it seems to be a good chance for Under 5 Goals bets. The way Empoli have been playing is the main culprit here – their two previous home games ended with barely any goals in total.

The away team are on a worrying trend of uneventful matches. Their previous two games at home both confirmed the Under 5 Goals market. They’re not likely to play more aggressively when they’re away either.

Empoli are in front of an important test this Saturday. The 3.52 odds on home win are not exactly promising but miracles do happen. That’s exactly what Empoli fans will be hoping for against Torino as their team continues to struggle.

We can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Torino won a Serie A match against Empoli in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 2.34 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Ardian Ismajli, Tyronne Ebuehi, Alberto Grassi have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

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 1.64.
