Salernitana Double Chance
Empoli’s surprise 3-1 win over Bologna last week boosted their survival hopes considerably, though they could struggle to record a follow-up victory against Salernitana on Monday. The visitors pushed their excellent unbeaten run to ten games when they held Fiorentina to a 3-3 draw in midweek and five matches during that string were contested on the road. Paulo Sousa’s side have become a really tough nut to crack and our opening Empoli vs Salernitana prediction recommends siding with the visitors in the double chance market.
Both Teams to Score
Salernitana have become a BTTS staple among bettors in recent weeks and for good reason. Both teams to score has landed in 100% of their last five away assignments and in seven of their last eight Serie matches overall, while goals were also notched by both sides in each of Salernitana’s last three meetings with Empoli.
