Empoli vs Sassuolo: prediction for the Serie A match
Empoli lost the previous two games. Will the hosts be able to defeat Sassuolo on Saturday, November 5? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Empoli

Empoli are not having a very successful first half of the season, but so far they have been able to stay clear of the relegation zone. Paolo Zanetti's men are currently in 14th place in the Serie A standings with 11 points from 12 games. In the last two matches, however, the Blues looked terrible - after a (0:4) defeat to Juventus, they lost to Atalanta (0:2).

Sassuolo

Sassuolo have done slightly better than their current opponents, but they can't boast of great results, either. Alessio Dionisi's men are in 11th place with 15 points from 12 games. The Neroverdi are nine points clear of the danger zone. Last weekend, Sassuolo got crushed by Napoli (0:4) - that was their third loss in the last four Serie A games.

Tip and bets
After two losses in a row, Empoli dropped to 14th. A few more mistakes like that, and they can end up in the bottom three. The Blues will strive to get a positive result at home and take risks in attack. Sassuolo probably won't be able to keep a clean sheet, but they have a solid offensive line and should be able to deliver goals. Take the over.
Our prediction – total over 2.5 goals
Zanetti's side has a slight edge here due to their home advantage. Sassuolo have been inconsistent of late, especially away from home - they won only one away game this season.
Second bet - Asian handicap (0) to Empoli
