A goalless draw has the highest probability, though the gap between the first and second options is relatively small. All three scenarios point to an expectation of a low-scoring, cautious match.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Empoli have regularly been involved in low-scoring matches in their recent run of games, and they rarely allow things to open up into an end-to-end affair. In seven of their last eight matches, no more than two goals were scored, and the visitors' current defensive numbers back that up. Mantova can cause problems, but keeping up a high tempo for the full 90 minutes against this kind of opponent won't be easy. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
