Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Lecce when they take on Empoli in the Serie A round 37. The Zebrette are determined to secure the top flight survival and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Empoli in Sunday’s relegation six-pointer. All Marco Silvestri, Vivaldo, and Gerard Deulofeu are out of contention with injuries, while both Florian Thauvin and Sandi Lovric are major doubts.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, failed to spoil Lazio’s party at Stadio Olimpico. As Empoli failed to find the net in the previous three league fixtures, we are tempted to place our bets on Udinese. Empoli forward Nicolo Cambiaghi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while defender Tyronne Ebuehi remains on the sidelines with injury. Midfielder Gabriele Guarino faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
