Editor's Prediction
Palermo head into the match as the clear favorites, and this status seems well-deserved. The team has been dominant on their home turf, securing victories in their last five league matches there without fail. Against an inconsistent Empoli side, the hosts have every reason to dictate the pace and impose their style of play. Given these circumstances, backing a Palermo win appears to be the logical choice.
