Empoli vs Chievo PREVIEW & PREDICTION 02/02/2019

On Saturday, at 14:00, Empoli will receive the Chievo visit in a match for the 22nd Serie A. The match will take place at the “Empire” stadium “Carlo Castellani”.

Series 22 in Serie A opens with a duel that does not say many bettors or lovers of Italian football. From the point of view of the rankings of the two teams, Empoli – Chievo is perhaps the most “weak” match of the Italian round. On the other hand, we can expect a high-rhythm game in which two teams with real offensive sails, but with two absolutely defensive defensive systems, will run desperately after all three points. Simulating the weakest defeat of Serie A with 42 goals scored after 21 matches, an average of exactly 2 goals received / match, Empoli and Chievo are two teams that do not know how to defend themselves, but who have shown that he has been doing a decent job in the last period. That’s why we think the very chaotic style of the two bands will lead the outcome of this match to the one with many goals.

In the last eight direct clashes between the two bands, Chievo imposed himself three times, Empoli only once, while the other four duels ended in a tie;

Chievo’s previous success on Carlo Castellani dates back to August 2015 from a 3-1;

Only one victory won Empoli in front of Veronese in the last 13 years: In February 2015, on their own ground, “Azzurriii” were imposed with the score of 3-0;

Probable teams:

Empoli (3-5-1-1): Provedel- Veseli, Silvestre, Rasmussen- Di Lorenzo, Krunic, Bennacer, Traore, Pasqual-Zajc, Caputo

Chievo (4-3-1-2): Sorrentino – Depaoli, Rossettini, Bani, Jaroszynski – Kiyine, Rigoni, Hetemaj – Giaccherini – Stepinski, Pellissier


PREDICTION: Empoli to win @ 1.94
