Editorial Prediction
Both teams have had a shaky start to the season, but matches involving them rarely end without goals. Virtus Entella have been involved in games with at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 outings. Empoli show a similar pattern, with their last 15 matches exceeding a single goal in each game. Given this trend, there's a strong likelihood that both teams will help surpass the low threshold again here. Our bet is on over 1.5 goals.
