Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Empoli win or draw and over 1.5 goals – 1.59
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Empoli 0 goals handicap – 1.46
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime correct score 1-1 – 2.44
Empoli Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Despite the fact that Empoli won just 20% of their home games, they are still the favorites to win with the bookies. In addition, Empoli’s last 16 home fixtures saw over 1.5 goals and Spezia’s four of the last five away games saw the same number of goals.
Empoli 0 Goals Handicap
While playing at home Empoli won three and draw three in the Serie A this season. Hence, on all six occasions, the Blues covered the 0 goal handicap. Moreover, the same trend happened in six of the last seven h2h meetings.
Anytime Correct Score 1-1
Most of the matches between these two teams have been very close in recent years. To illustrate, four of the last five games between Empoli and Spezia ended in a 1-1 draw. Thus this is the most frequent scoreline between these two teams recently.
Empoli will be keen to register their first win at the Castellani in six outings. In fact, the Blues had more wins on the road than at home. Moreover, Empoli have not beaten Spezia in five meetings.
It was a fine start for Empoli in the Serie A campaign after winning eight of their first 19 fixtures. However, boss Andreazzoli’s team’s form deteriorated and they are now winless in the last 14 games, drawing seven and losing seven.
Obviously, Empoli’s defense is suffering as despite scoring in eight of their last ten home games, the Blues conceded 14 in the last five matches. In addition, the Blues have a very weak defensive average in their home games conceding 2.53 per game since August.
Spezia have the chance to jump three positions if they win this match. In detail, the Little Eagles have 32 points and there are three teams who have 33 in front of them one of them being Empoli. With a 1-0 win over Venezia, Spezia recorded their second win in three matches and opened a ten-point gap to the relegation zone.
Before that three games, Spezia were on a three-match losing streak which endangered their status in Serie A. Nonetheless, six points from a possible nine and two clean sheets must give Thiago Motta’s team a morale boost ahead of this trip to Empoli.
