Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals. In addition to expecting a balanced encounter, both teams have shown more competence in the defensive sector than in the offensive one. It is worth noting that the "Under 2.5 Goals" market has been successful in 78% of Empoli's home games. Therefore, a more cautious game with few goal-scoring opportunities is anticipated.
