BTTS – No
Both teams have scored in just two of the last five league meetings between these two clubs and we're predicting that at least one of the pair will keep a clean sheet on Saturday. One two of Salernitana's last six matches have ended with both teams scoring and the same can be said for two of Empoli's last five games in Serie A.
Under 2.5 Goals
Three of the last five encounters between Salernitana and Empoli have produced under 2.5 goals and we're expecting another tight and tense 90-minutes this weekend. Three of the host's last five matches have witnessed fewer than three goals scored and each of Empoli's three away games in Serie A this season have also produced under 2.5 goals.
0-1 to Empoli
Salernitana have only won one game so far this season and have failed to score in three of their last six league games. We're backing Empoli to win 1-0 on Saturday as the visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and have won two of their three away trips, in which they kept a clean sheet on both occasions.

A win could take Salernitana off the bottom of the table
Salernitana were unable to build upon their first victory of the season before the international break as they lost 2-1 away at Spezia last weekend. Saturday's hosts have found the step up to Serie A difficult and they remain the bookmaker's favourites to get relegated this season. However, a win this weekend could suggest that Salernitana have what it takes to beat the drop but the club are also going to have to find a way of picking up points on their travels.
Empoli suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to an improving Atalanta side last weekend and have now lost their last two matches against strong opposition. However, Empoli's overall performance so far this season suggests that they are more than capable of beating Salernitana in their own backyard, especially as they have already beaten Juventus in Turin. Empoli look good on the injury front which is always a big plus for newly-promoted teams that tend to have smaller and weaker squads than the more established Serie A sides.
Team News
Salernitana: Gyömber, Kastanos, Veseli, Bonazzoli, Bogdan, Ribéry, Coulibaly, Capezzi and Ruggeri are all injury concerns for the home side.
Empoli: Simone Romagnoli and Jacopo Furlan are expected to be out injured until next month.
