Will the hosts be able to play another strong match and score points on their home field in the third round in a row, or will the Azzurri break their losing streak and take all three points? In the forecast, we have analyzed in detail the form in which the teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting and have chosen the most reliable bets. What choice should you make?
Command Analysis
Venezia
ItalyCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Venezia was considered one of the main candidates for relegation from Serie A – so far this status has not been called into question. With 13 points, Eusebio Di Francesco team is in 19th place in the table and is three points behind the saving 17th place – such a handicap can be made up today. In the last round, Venezia gave a fight away to Napoli, but lost to the opponent with a score of 0:1 – a series of three matches without defeat came to an end. However, progress has been taking place recently and the hosts are not yet a hopeless outsider.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sagrado, Raimondo, Svoboda and Duncan are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last four matches, Venezia suffered only one defeat
- Venezia have scored in four of their last five home games
Tentative line-up: Stankovic - Idzes, Altare, Šverko - Zampano, Andersen, Nicolussi-Caviglia, Busio, Ellertsson - Oristanio, Pohjanpalo.
Empoli
ItalyCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Empoli was also considered one of the candidates for relegation, having a very modest selection of players. However, from the start, Roberto D'Aversa team began to gain points and created several sensations, confidently playing both home and away matches. However, it was quite expected that they could not spend the entire first round at such a pace - having lost 1:2 to Genoa in the last round, Empoli suffered their third defeat in a row. For now, the Tuscans occupy 12th place in the table with 19 points, but they are only five points away from the relegation zone, which cannot guarantee anything.
Disqualifications and injuries
Viti, Brancolini, Haas, Ebuehi, Zurkowski, Sazonov, Pellegri and Solbakken are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Empoli have lost their last three matches
- Empoli have scored in three of their last four matches
Probable line-up: Vazquez - Goglichidze, Ismaili, Cacace - Gyasi, Anjorin, Malech, Pezzella - Esposito, Henderson - Colombo.

2.05Tip and bets
"Venice" has seriously improved recently, has started to play more boldly, especially on its home field and will probably be aggressive in the front today in an attempt to snatch all three points. "Empoli" has been making a lot of mistakes in defense in recent rounds and in this form it will be almost impossible to play reliably at "Pierluigi Penzo". However, despite a number of defeats, the "azzurri" looked decent in attack and regularly score, the guests are quite capable of responding with their own goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.90
Bet on the outcome
"Venice" managed to gain decent form in the last rounds and will not allow themselves to be easily beaten even by the giants, and in matches with equal opponents they have even started to take points regularly. "Empoli", in turn, has slowed down and three defeats in a row clearly show that there are plenty of problems in the game of the "azzurri" - it makes sense to give preference to the hosts in such a match, today "Venice" looks much more preferable.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on "Venice". This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
