Lecce vs Empoli Match Preview And Prediction
Lecce vs Empoli: In the previous eight league games, Lecce has only won once. In the process, they have only managed two goals. In four of Empoli’s previous five league games, the team scored fewer than three goals.
Empoli’s decisive 3-2 victory over Torino seven days ago allowed them to exit the red zone. The team led by Davide Nicola displayed incredible fortitude to overcome a formidable and well-respected opponent last weekend. Nicola should be pleased with his second-half changes because Mbaye Niang and Matteo Cancellieri gave the Azzurri goals on that occasion.
Empoli still has a mountain to climb in order to guarantee their place in the top division. Before visiting Stadio Ettore Giardiniero – Via del Mare, they are only one point behind Lecce in 14th place and just two points above the danger zone.
With seven games left, we have ample grounds to regard this tie as a legitimate relegation six-pointer. Lecce is going to be lot less happy going into this tie. They didn’t really hurt AC Milan in the 0–3 loss at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza last weekend.
Lecce vs Empoli: Betting Analysis
Since Empoli has not lost to Lecce in their previous six meetings, they can rely on recent history. Throughout the process, Empoli has won two games. In the rematch, which took place in December of last year at Stadio Carlo Castellani – Computer Gross Arena, the two teams split the spoils with a 1-1 tie. In the six previous meetings between the two squads, both teams have scored goals.
Lecce has recently struggled mightily to score goals. In the preceding four league games, they scored just one goal. It happened little under a month ago in a close, barely contested 1-0 victory against Salernitana, who were at their lowest point. In the last eight Serie A matches, Lecce have only one win.
After defeating Torino, a team in the top half, the previous weekend, Empoli will be much more confident going into tonight. In addition, Empoli has won all six of their prior meetings with Lecce. On Saturday afternoon, we will wager on the visitors to win at odds of 1.70.
A great alternative bet is to go under 2.5 goals, which you can support at 1.61 odds. Before defeating Torino three times last Saturday, Empoli had lost four straight league games without scoring. In the past eight Serie A games, Lecce has only scored two goals. Finally, there hasn’t been a goal or three scored in any of the previous three head-to-head matches between these teams.
