Editor's Prediction
The teams sit close to each other in the standings, making it difficult to point to a clear favorite here. Both sides appear evenly matched in strength. However, Empoli's recent matches have been far from thrilling, with no more than two goals scored in each of their last five games. The visitors have adopted a more pragmatic approach, focusing on defense and controlling the pace of the game. Therefore, we're betting on under 2.5 goals.
