Empoli vs Udinese Prediction

Empoli host Udinese in the first game of Matchday No 8 in Italian Serie A on Friday afternoon at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

The two teams sit inside the bottom-four of the league table and the outcome of this affair might play a big role from the psychological perspective ahead of the remaining part of the season.

Empoli managed their first win of the season in the previous home game, beating Saleritana 1-0 two weeks ago.

They quickly returned to the old habits, though, falling 3-0 in a one-way street away at Bologna on Sunday. It was the sixth defeat in seven Serie A outings for Gli Azzuurri.

Udinese, on the other side, offered another disappointing display in front of the home fans, barely avoiding a defeat in a 2-2 stalemate against Genoa on Sunday.

They are one of just three winless teams in this term of the competition, although it is worth noting that four of their seven matches have ended in draws.

Udinese have been struggling to create chances since the start of the season as they only managed to find the back of the net four times in seven games. They registered no more than two shots on target last weekend in the home tie against Genoa.

Latest Meetings

Udinese have been more successful historically in this matchup and they’ll go into this tie on the back of two wins and a draw in the last three meetings with Empoli.

That being said, Udinese have only managed to beat Empoli four times in the last 15 visits to Stadio Carlo Castellani.

We have seen three goals in total in the last season’s two head to head games between these counterparts.

The Verdict

The Under 2.5 goals FT is the best betting option here at the 1.80 odds. Empoli own the league’s worst attacking record with one goal in seven games while Udinese have not been much better with four goals so far in the campaign.

The braver punters can try with the goalless draw as the correct score punt at the attractive 10.00 odds.
