Empoli Double Chance
Empoli have been a tough nut to crack since the resumption of the domestic campaign in Italy and following a run of just one defeat in seven matches in Serie A, Paolo Zanetti’s charges can head to Florence armed with plenty of confidence on Sunday. Fiorentina meanwhile, have claimed just one point from the last 15 on offer and their lacklustre performances could land them in trouble again this weekend. With that in mind, our first Fiorentina vs Empoli prediction recommends a take on the visitors in the double chance stakes.
Under 2.5 Goals
Fiorentina have looked desperately shy of cutting edge in the final third in recent weeks and La Viola managed to plunder just two goals in their last five Serie A matches combined and we don’t expect their output to improve much on Sunday. Six of Empoli’s last eight league matches on their travels have featured under 2.5 goals and the visitors lack the oomph at the business end of the pitch to do much damage themselves. With those factors aligned, backing under 2.5 goals to hit the net could be a smart move again.

Fiorentina vs Empoli Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Fiorentina vs Empoli lineups and team news for Sunday’s game below.
Fiorentina
Midfielder Antonin Barak is listed as Fiorentina's only major injury worry at present, though having close to a full complement of players hasn't helped La Viola's cause in recent weeks. Fiorentina lost 1-0 at Juventus last time out and dropped to 14th place in Serie A at full-time.
Predicted Lineup for Fiorentina: Terracciano – Dodo, Milenkovic, Ranieri, Biraghi – Bonaventura, Amrabat, Duncan – Gonzalez, Ikone, Kouame
Empoli
Empoli will be without the injured Cyriel Dessers, David Okereke, Giacomo Quagliata and Luka Lochoschvilli this weekend, while defenders Fabiano Parisi and Johan Vasquez are out through suspension. Empoli rescued a point at home to Spezia last weekend after they came back from two goals down to equalize deep into added on time.
Predicted Lineup for Empoli: Vicario – Ebuehi, Ismajli, Luperto, Stojanovic – Akpro, Marin, Bandinelli, Baldanzi – Caputo, Cambiaghi
Player to Watch – Nicolò Cambiaghi
Nicolò Cambiaghi has been a peripheral figure and a substitute option for much of the campaign for Empoli, though he attacker took an opportunity to shine with both hands last week when he scored against Spezia in what was only his third start in Serie A of the season. The 22-year-old should be involved again on Sunday with some of his competitors for a starting spot out injured.
