Venezia - Empoli betting tips and odds

Venezia may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Empoli. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.75 for the hosts to win.

2.50 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Empoli are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

Venezia’s latest Serie A performance against Milan ended in a harsh 0:3 defeat, though that’s not saying a lot about their current form. They never had much of a shot despite the home-field advantage, and their opponents dictated the pace of the whole game.

In the previous round of Serie A, Empoli welcomed Sassuolo at their home stadium – and it didn’t end well for them. They were behind at half-time, and things only got worse from there, resulting in a 1:5 home loss.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Venezia have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

With 12 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Empoli’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

With just 1 point between them and the relegation zone, the hosts will want to be careful with rough matchups such as this one. We’re too early in the season to call their situation bad, but moving up the table will be a challenge.

With an away win priced at 2.50, Empoli are marked as the favourites in this matchup. However, it’s worth noting that they lost their previous engagement with Venezia – one in which they were the home team.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.73 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
