Empoli vs Fiorentina Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st August 2022

Fiorentina are the favourites by a long shot on Sunday for a Serie A round two match against Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani this coming Sunday. Empoli claimed a 2-1 win, while Fiorentina answered back with a 1-0 win in their two most recent meetings.

Empoli will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening game to the new Serie A campaign which left them empty-handed. Fiorentina booked their first win of the season in the Serie A as they claimed all three points in the opener.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Empoli and Fiorentina are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Stadio Carlo Castellani as the teams look to get one over each other.

Empoli scored ten goals, conceded 17 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Fiorentina scored 14 goals, conceded 15 and managed four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Empoli vs Fiorentina Prediction

In their last three matches, Empoli beat Atalanta 0-1, drew 1-1 with SPAL 2013, before losing 1-0 against Spezia. Empoli just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Serie A matches at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded ten goals.

While safety is the foremost priority for Empoli, a top half finish is the ultimate dream for this term.

Fiorentina look back on their last three matches with six points to show from their efforts. Against Sampdoria, they were left empty-handed in a 4-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Juventus in a 2-0 win. They followed that up with a 3-2 win against Cremonese in their most recent outing. Fiorentina managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 12 time and letting in seven.

Fiorentina go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.

Empoli don't look like a team currently possessing a form that is capable of shutting out Fiorentina, and the away win is our the bet on Sunday.
