Draw or Verona Win and Over 1.5 Goals
The stats show that a draw is an outcome with the most probability with 29%. In addition, Verona are the team in better form losing just one of their last five away games. Moreover, both teams’ last five games saw over 1.5 goals and according to the stats, there is a 93% chance for over 1.5 goals.
Verona 0 Goals Handicap
Out of 29 games so far this season, Verona won 11 and drew eight. However, while playing away those numbers are three wins and six draws. Obviously, in all these games Verona were able to cover the 0 goals handicap and we think they can do it again in this match.
Anytime Correct Score 0-1
In all 29 fixtures played in Serie A this season, Verona scored first in 17 of them. The Gialloblu are also quite impressive when they play on the road taking the lead first in eight of their 14 fixtures. On the other hand, Empoli conceded first in 11 of their 14 home games.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Empoli vs Verona
It’s as if Empoli have taken the summer break early as the Blues are winless in their last 12 Serie A fixtures. With eight wins until the first week of December, Empoli could even push for a top-ten finish. However, that wasn’t to be as coach Andreazzoli is looking for an inspiration to bring back the hunger of winning to his players.
The main cause for concern is Empoli’s home record with just three in 14 games. In addition, conceding on average 2.64 goals per home game is the worst in the league. As a result, Andreazzoli’s first task will be to adjust his defense ahead of the remaining games.
Verona have an outside chance of finishing top-six but they must collect at least 18 points from the remaining nine rounds. However, it won’t be easy as they will play against teams who are challenging for the Scudetto like Milan and Inter or for a Champions League berth like Lazio and Atalanta.
Overall, Verona are having a fine season with some notable wins over the top teams like Juventus Roma, and Lazio. Nevertheless, when playing on the road against the bottom ten teams, they seem to struggle as they lost three and drew three of their nine encounters.
Empoli vs Verona Prediction
All recent games between Empoliand Verona were close and entertaining with a lot of goals. The draw is an obvious choice for the bookies but we will combine it with an away win double chance and over 1.5 goals.
Safe Bet
The bookies are backing for both teams to score in this game and Vbet is offering odds of 1.56. In detail, Empoli’s 86% home games and Verona’s 79% home games saw goals at both ends. Hence, for our safe bet, we will back both teams to score at the Sardegna Arena on Saturday.
Quick Rich
All four of the last meetings between these clubs ended with a win by one goal. Two of those wins were in favor of Verona. Moreover, the Gialloblu won six times this season by a one-goal margin. With odds of 3.83 for Verona to win by one goal, we will consider this bet as a good choice for a quick profit.
Empoli vs Verona First Goalscorer
Giovanni Simeone is one of the hottest strikers in Serie A at the moment. The Argentine scored 15 goals in 26 matches in the league this season. We predict for the 26-year-old to be the first goalscorer in this match as he did seven times already this term.
