Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Udinese win or draw and over 1.5 goals – 1.49
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Empoli +1 goal handicap – 1.55
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime correct score 1-0 – 1.61
Udinese Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Udinese are undefeated in their last five home games. In addition, Empoli have not won a single game in Serie A in 15 rounds. As for the total goals market, the over 1.5 goals in this match has a chance of 75% to realize.
Empoli +1 Goal Handicap
In the last nine Serie A matches, Empoli drew five and lost four games. In all these fixtures, the Blues covered the +1 goal handicap in eight of them after losing by a one-goal margin.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
In five of their last six Serie A fixtures at the Dacia Arena, Udinese took a 1-0 lead. In their 15 home games, the Bianconeri scored first eight times. On the other hand, Empoli while playing on the road, conceding the first goal in eight games.
Udinese returned to winning ways after a tough away win at Venezia by 2-1. In addition, the Bianconeri are undefeated in their last five home games and sit comfortably at the 12th position without any relegation worries.
Looking at Udinese’s scoring records we can see that coach Gabriele Cioffi’s team has defensive problems. In detail, during the season, Udinese let in on average 1.60 goals during the season and conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 15 home matches.
Empoli meanwhile are continuing their winless streak which reached 15 in their last match when they drew with Spezia 0-0. Luckily for the Blues, the teams behind them are not gaining ground on them otherwise they would be in the relegation zone by now.
Notably, coach Andreazzoli’s team had a drastic drop in form in the second half of the season in all aspects. To illustrate, Empoli have not scored while playing on the road in their last five trips and scored three goals in their last nine Serie A fixtures. At the defensive end, Empoli conceded at least a goal in 12 of their last 15 games.
The bookies are favoring Udinese for a win with odds of 1.83. However, Empoli are a tough team when playing on the road as they gathered 62% of their points from their away games. To conclude, we prefer backing a combo bet of home win or draw and over 1.5 goals which we think has lesser risks.
