Empoli have gone seven games with a victory in Serie A ahead of their trip to Bergamo to take on Atalanta on Friday evening. Read our top Atalanta vs Empoli predictions for this week’s fixture below.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
Atalanta have looked uncharacteristically low on goals in recent weeks and La Dea have rattled the net just three times in their last six Serie A fixtures combined. Atalanta aren’t conceding many at the opposite end however, and five of the same fixtures featured under 2.5 goals overall as a result. Only three teams have notched less often this season than Empoli meanwhile, so supporters shouldn’t expect fireworks on Friday. Instead, our opening Atalanta vs Empoli prediction recommends another stake on under 2.5 goals.
Both Teams to Score – No
For the second of our football betting tips today, we’re aiming to capitalise on another low-scoring trend, and a wager on both teams not to score at the Gewiss Stadium is advised at the prices on offer. Both teams not to score has landed in six of Atalanta’s last seven Serie A contests and in two of Empoli’s last three games, while just one side managed to register in three of the last four encounters between the clubs. Expect that trend to continue on Friday.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Friday’s face off featuring Atalanta – Empoli below.
Atalanta odds: 12/25 (1.48) – 67.6%
Draw odds: 37/10 (4.7) – 21.3%
Empoli odds: 28/5 (6.6) – 15.2%
Atalanta have a 67.6% chance of winning on Friday, say the market makers who have attached that sizable probability to that outcome. 31-year-old Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata is available at 21/5 (5.2) – 19.2% to be the first goalscorer, while his over 3.5 bookings can be added to your coupon at odds of 31/100 (1.31), which works out at an implied probability of 76.3%.
Atalanta vs Empoli Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Atalanta vs Empoli lineups and team news for Friday’s meeting below.
Atalanta
Defender Hans Hateboer is a long-term absentee for Atalanta with an ACL injury while midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has a hamstring issue and is expected to sit out the next couple of weeks. Atalante have gone four games without a win in Serie A and their top four hopes have been seriously dented as a result.
Predicted Lineup for Atalanta: Musso – Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini – Maehle, de Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri – Pasalic, Hojlund, Zapata
Empoli
Empoli could be without attacking duo Nicolo Cambiaghi and Mattia Destro for their trip to Bergamo on Friday. Empoli (14th) are still a healthy nine points clear of the drop zone, though they have lost three games on the spin in Serie A and they are without a win in seven games in the division overall.
Predicted Lineup for Empoli: Perisan – Stojanovic, Ismajli, Luperto, Parisi – Akpa Akpro, Marin, Bandinelli – Baldanzi, Caputo, Satriano
Player to Watch – Juan Musso
Atalanta didn’t lay a finger on Napoli in their 2-0 loss to the league leaders last week, though La Dea’s keeper, Juan Musso, did finish the game with bruised digits after a taxing outing between the sticks. The 28-year-old made several saves to keep the score down in Naples and Musso will hope for a calmer evening on Friday.
