Udinese - Empoli predictions

Though we can call Udinese the favourites in this matchup, Empoli are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

Empoli will have little to hope for in this match. 4.51 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The host are coming off from a morale-boosting Napoli draw. Why morale-boosting? Because Udinese were given close to zero per cent chances of getting anything from their last trip. However, a draw at halftime and the end (Napoli) make for a very good result overall.

Not even the most optimistic of Serie A predictions expected Empoli to record anything except a loss, and it seems they were right. A catastrophic second half brought the score to 0:2 before the end, resulting in a harsh defeat at home.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Empoli’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Udinese may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Empoli this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Empoli will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Ardian Ismajli, Jacopo Fazzini, Mattia Viti, Faustino Anjorin will all be unable to perform.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
