Editorial Prediction
Empoli head into the match as favorites, even though their season has started quite cautiously without significant achievements. Carrarese, particularly on the road, opts for a conservative style of play, resulting in low-scoring games more often than not. In six of their last seven away matches, no more than two goals were scored. Given these trends, another low-scoring encounter seems likely. The bet - total under 2.5 goals.
