Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Fiorentina to Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals – 1.68

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime Correct Score 1-1 – 2.55
Fiorentina to Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
There is a 36% chance that Fiorentina will win this game after winning four of their 11 home games. A draw also has the same probability while the goals statistics show a 73% chance that this match will produce under 3.5 goals.
Empoli +1.5 Goals Handicap
A majority of Empoli’s defeats had a margin of two goals or more (five defeats) and covered the suggested handicap. Fiorentina meanwhile have won four of their matches by one goal margin and failed against the +1.5 goals handicap.
Anytime Correct Score 1-1
Four of Fiorentina’s matches ended in a 1-1 draw while four of Empoli’s Serie A games also had the 1-1 score as the final score. Moreover, the same score appeared at halftime in seven of both teams’ matches after the first half.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina’s bad period of results continued after losing to Juventus in Turin in round 22. The Violas are winless in their last five matches losing four and drawing one and as a result, Fiorentina slipped down the Serie A table to 14th position with 24 points, 12 points fewer than they had at the same stage last season.
Obviously, coach Vincenzo Italiano has to work on his team’s defense after conceding at least a goal in nine of their 11 and seven home matches. Moreover, the Violas picked up 0.63 points per game in the last eight rounds which is 42.2% fewer than their season’s average of 1.09.
Empoli
With the 2-2 home draw against Spezia, Empoli did not repeat the performance of their previous match and shared the points this time, bringing their winless run to three games in the league. The Blues have drawn four of their previous eight matches in Serie A.
Empoli’s stats show that they have improved their offensive effectiveness after scoring 1.38 goals per game in the last eight rounds which is 45.3% more than their season’s average of 0.95. The Blues were able to score in 64% of their away games with an average of 0.82 goals per game.
Eventually, Fiorentina will find a win and get out of their current winless streak and this could be the match to register it. Still, we prefer to be on the safe side and pick a combination bet of a Fiorentina double chance and under 3.5 goals.
Fiorentina scored under two goals in their last five matches. Playing at the Artemio Franchi, the Violas scored an average of 1.36 goals per game in Serie A. Empoli conceded 1.45 goals per game in their away games. With odds of 1.35 at 1xBet, we predict Fiorentina to score under 2.5 goals.
Christian Kouame is one of Fiorentina’s best players this season with a rating of 7.10. The Ivory Coast player has scored four goals and two assists for the Violas and can play in various attacking positions. Kouame is known for his very strong aerial duels.
Fiorentina have only Barak in the treatment room.
Empoli’s Destro and Tonelli are injured while Parisi is suspended.
