Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction & Match Preview

Empoli stunned Fiorentina last weekend at Stadio Artemio Franchi to pick up their second win of the season.

They are now unbeaten in two straight league outings and they’ll go into Monday’s Matchday No 10 clash against Atalanta in the highest of spirits.

That said, Aurelio Andreazzoli’s troops are still heavy underdogs ahead of this tie. They have scored just three goals so far in the season and they are up against a top-four contender.

The good news for Andreazzoli is that Empoli managed to fix their defensive holes in recent weeks. They kept three clean sheets in the last four Serie A outings.

This will bode well for their chances of staying competitive against Atalanta who have also done better defensively than offensively in most matches this term.

La Dea kept their net untouched in four of the previous five league outings, including the last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Genoa at Gewiss Stadium.

Gianpiero Gasperini’s men are now sixth in the league table, sitting just six points shy of leaders Inter Milan.

Latest Meetings

Atalanta earned the domestic double over Empoli in the previous term of Serie A, conceding just one goal in two clashes against them in the process.

Overall, La Dea lead the H2H tie by three wins going into the 25th clash against Empoli.

Only two of the last five meetings between these rivals produced three or more goals.

The Verdict

Both teams have done very well defensively in recent weeks and we’ve not quote witnessed goal fests in their recent head to head clashes. This is why the Under 2.5 goals FT pick has to be the way to go here at the 2.00 odds.

The quality is on Atalanta’s side and we expect the visitors to prevail and pick up an important victory in the battle to keep pace with the best teams in the division. The away win is paid at the 1.66 odds.
