  • Draw , no goal

  • @footballover Wrong Again

  • Empoli have quietly been pretty decent in Serie A this season. They have beaten the teams that they should for the most part sans the 2-1 home loss to Venezia early on in the campaign. The problem is they are conceding on average over 2 goals per game at home. Confidence should be high though as Empolis only loss in the last 6 matches was a Heartbreaking loss at Verona when Barak netted one at the death. I expect Udinese to have trouble filling Pereyra's spot. Still a certain threat to score but I like Empoli to continue their run of decent form and win this 2-1 or 3-1. Not the safest play as but I don't have a problem back the home side at higher odds in this one.

  • @FootyFiyah you are so good!
