Empoli vs Verona – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Both Empoli and Verona go in search of their first victories of the new Serie A campaign on Wednesday evening. Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Empoli Double Chance

Wins have proven elusive for both Empoli and Verona in the opening exchanges of the new Serie A campaign, though the hosts did manage to find their feet in their last two assignments, earning draws against Fiorentina and Lecce. Verona meanwhile, have lost three out of four matches so far if you include their cup defeat to Bari and with their confidence at a low ebb, they could be worth opposing on Wednesday. With that in mind, we recommend backing the hosts in the double chance market.

Both Teams to Score

Empoli and Verona faced off three times last season, twice in the league and once in the cup, and both teams to score landed on each occasion. Neither team could ever be described as reliable from a defensive standpoint and both brittle backlines could well concede again on Wednesday. Empoli have kept just two clean sheets in their last nine Serie A fixtures, while Verona have shutout their opponents just twice in their last 16 attempts in the Italian top tier. Back both rearguards to concede again this week.
