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.

It’s highly unlikely that Empoli will manage to get some points this round. Udinese are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Udinese’s supporters are hoping for a repeat of their previous outing. The travelling fans witnessed a decisive 0:2 victory against Lecce , who were considered favourites before kick-off and there is no doubt Udinese will be quite confident heading into this game.

Although Empoli’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 2:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents Lazio, who spent the entire match ahead.

Empoli tend to play rather passively even at home. For instance, they are heading into the Sunday game after two home games that featured fewer than 2 goals on both sides.

The hosts will probably avoid relegation this season, if only by a hairpin. They’ve placed at 15th in the standings, but are heading into a relatively tough match. Still, notable changes on the table are unlikely with almost no rounds left in the season.

A 0 -point deficit is hard to overcome if you’re already stuck in the relegation zone, which is what Empoli need to do. However, it’s downright impossible considering the unfavourable matchup and the fact that the season is just about over.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Gerard Deulofeu, Florian Thauvin, Marco Silvestri, Sandi Lovrić, Kingsley Ehizibue, Enzo Ebosse will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

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 Betway priced at 1.65 odds.
