On Sunday, at 14:00, Udinese will receive the Empoli tournament in a match for the 31st Serie A. The match will take place at the Dacia Arena in Udine.
At one point or two from the last place in Serie B, Empoli and Udinese play a “six-point” Sunday afternoon match at the “Dacia Arena”, one whose outcome could influence the crucial hierarchy of Serie A. Both teams have “warmed up” lately after having “hibernated” much of the season. Being aware of the downgrading, both Udinese and Empoli come after a decent series of results, but this is not enough. There are eight stages to play in Serie A, 24 points in the game, and these three are announced to be among the most important. That is why we also think that we will not see a very spectacular match between two teams who know their level and who will not give up even a draw, than to record a failure to weigh more than it seems at first view.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Udinese imposed himself three times, Empoli in three other rows, while a single duel ended in a tie;
Four of the previous six direct disputes ended with gaps on both sides;
The last straight game took place in the tour when Empoli won the “Carlo Castellani” with a score of 2-0;
Probable teams:
Udinese (3-5-2): Musso-Opoku, De Maio, Samir-Ter Avest, Fofana, Sandro, De Paul, Zeegelar-Pussetto, Lasagna
Empoli (3-5-2): Dragowski-Maietta, Silvestre, Dell’Orco- Di Lorenzo, Brighi, Bennacer, Traore, Pajac- Farias, Caputo
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a positive result for the hosts. Taking into account the fact that Udinese comes after three consecutive home games, while Empoli is one of the few Serie A bands that did not know the taste of success on foreign pitch in the current season, we believe that “friuli biancoons” will not lose it confrontation.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.75
