Empoli vs Salernitana: Today's Best Bets
Empoli are safe from relegation and have little left to play for in Serie A this season but pride. Salernitana arrive this weekend looking for the win that could confirm their place in Italy's top flight for another season, as long as results elsewhere go in their favour.

BTTS
We're backing both teams to score on Saturday just as they did when these two sides locked horns in October. Both teams have also scored in each of Empoli's last four outings in Serie A while five of Salernitana's last six fixtures have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, adding plenty of weight to our prediction for Saturday's clash.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in four of the last seven league meetings between Empoli and Salernitana, and we're predicting more of the same this weekend. Each of Empoli's last four matches have witnessed at least three goals scored, including a heavy 4-2 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. Three of Salernitana's last six games have produced over 2.5 goals and on each of those occasions, the scoreline has ended 2-1.
