Editorial Prediction
Empoli are considered the favorites due to their experience at a higher level, but last season in Serie A was disastrous for them-they failed to win in 25 of their last 27 official matches and were relegated from the top flight. Padova, on the other hand, enter the new campaign in high spirits, having confidently won Serie C and displayed quality football. Given these factors, betting on Padova not losing seems like a reasonable choice.
