Empoli prepare to host Cesena with both sides searching for stability after inconsistent spells. Recent meetings have been tight, including Empoli’s 1-0 away win in January.
Cesena’s defensive record has dipped sharply in recent weeks, while Empoli have struggled to turn home performances into victories. That tension shapes this encounter.
Empoli drew 1-1 with Reggiana in their latest outing, marking their third draw in five league matches. They have won just once in that period, a 3-1 away success at Monza, while conceding in four of those five games.
At home, Empoli have failed to win their last four league fixtures, drawing three and losing once. Goals have been an issue, with only two scored across those four matches, which suggests a lack of cutting edge in the final third.
Cesena were beaten 2-3 at home by Spezia last time out, following a 0-4 loss against Venezia. They have conceded thirteen goals across their last five league matches, a run that highlights clear defensive fragility.
Away form offers little reassurance, with three defeats in their last four trips. Each of their last three away losses has seen them concede at least three goals, exposing ongoing structural problems at the back.
The leading prediction for this fixture is Empoli win at 2.35 odds. Cesena’s defensive struggles, particularly in recent away fixtures, give Empoli an opportunity to capitalise despite their own modest home record.
We also find value in backing over 2.5 goals at 2.15 odds given Cesena’s recent scorelines. Four of their last five league matches have produced at least three goals, largely due to the volume they concede.
Empoli 2-1 at 9.50 odds reflects a contest where the hosts edge it but do not fully control proceedings. Cesena have managed to score in three of their last five despite defeats, so a narrow home win looks plausible.
