Command Analysis

Empoli

Empoli did exceptionally well in the first half of the season. Many considered Aurelio Andreazzoli's team one of the main outsiders of Serie A, but at the moment they are occupying the 9th line in the table with a total of 28 points. They are only 4 points shy of getting into the European club competition zone. In the last round of games, Empoli recorded a high-scoring draw with Lazio (3:3).

Sassuolo

Sassuolohad a disappointing first half of the season. Alessio Dionisi's team hoped to gain a foothold in the middle of the table, but at the moment they are only in 13th place in the table. Sassuolo are losing 7 points to the 6th Fiorentina and theoretically can still get into the European club competition zone, but they have very powerful competitors, such as Roma and Lazio. In the last match, the Neroverdi got a 1:1 draw with Genoa.

Tip and bets
Empoli secured a 13-points handicap against the relegation zone and continue to snatch points from the league favourites. Andreazolli's men play attacking football and score a lot, but the same can be said about Sassuolo, so we believe this will be a high-scoring game. «
Our prediction - total over 3 goals
Empoli made too many defensive mistakes in their last fixtures, and in general, they can't boast a very strong defensive line. The visitors have a more powerful lineup and their leaders can take advantage of Empoli's weaknesses. We are predicting a victory for the Neroverdi.
Second bet - Asian handicap (0) to Sassuolo
