In the last match of the championship, Verona gave Cagliari a fight and could have grabbed some points, but they failed to capitalize on their chances, losing 0-1 – their third defeat in a row.

2.47Tip and bets
Verona have not scored any points in their last three matches and will certainly be maximally motivated and charged with results today. Empoli are much higher in the table, but are very vulnerable in away matches and have a number of serious personnel problems. In addition, the Azzurri have spent a lot of energy in the Cup this week, there are not many options for rotation, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
We believe that the hosts have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Asian handicap (0) for Verona . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on total
Verona will undoubtedly take risks today and play only to win – there is a real risk of ending up in the relegation zone in the very near future. Despite all their problems, the Mastiffs play traditionally boldly on their home field and Empoli are unlikely to have a chance to play to zero today. However, the Azzurri are distinguished by their excellent implementation, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Verona will clearly be playing first at home and will spend a lot of time attacking – the hosts should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Verona to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.75
