Preliminary review and match prediction for Empoli vs Cagliari
No one can explain why a team like Empoli who are so good while playing away are less than average at home. In fact, the Blues are the sixth-best team in terms of away results but fourth from the bottom when it comes to home results.
Surely, Empoli’s defense has a big part in this as they are the second-worst in Serie A with 47 goals conceded in 24 games. However, what kept coach Andreazzoli’s team at 11th place is their attack that have an average of 1.5 goals scored per match.
Andreazzolli still couldn’t find a way to take his team out of the seven-match winless spell. As we mentioned earlier, they lost to top-six teams in that period, however, draws with Venezia and Bologna could be bettered.
Cagliari have a big fight at their hands as they are trying to keep their distance from the relegation zone. Clearly, coach Walter Mazzarri’s team has improved in recent weeks and that was seen in their last win over Atalanta in Bergamo.
The Islanders have now won three of their last five Serie A showdowns and collected ten points. Still, Mazzarri knows they can’t back down and must play every match as if it’s a final. The Atalanta win will definitely boost Rossoblu’s confidence and playing for a win in Empoli might be their ambition.
Empoli vs Cagliari Prediction
Two teams with contradicting forms face in this fixture as Empoli are trying to find their first win in seven games. Obviously, Empoli games have seen a lot of goals and we think we are in for another entertainer in terms of goals and predict that both teams will have a part in it.
Safe Bet
We have already provided two predictions that are considered to be safe, however, we will back the bet Empoli o goals handicap in the first half with odds of 1.51 for yet another safe bet.
Quick Rich
Empoli are the favorites to win this and we can make a good profit if we back the correct score combination of 2-1/ 3-1/ 4-1 which has odds of 3.25 at Vbet. Empoli won twice by the score of 2-1 in Serie A this term while Cagliari lost twice by the same result.
Empoli vs Cagliari First Goalscorer
Andrea Pinamonti was on target eight times this season for Empoli. The 22-year-old featured in 23 Serie A games and was the first goalscorer against Salernitana earlier this season. We predict Pinamonti will be open up the scoring in this match.
