Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Padova
Empoli will look to kickstart their Serie B campaign in style when they face Padova on Saturday evening. The Azzurri are eyeing a quick return to the Italian top flight, but it is worth mentioning that the likes of Giuseppe Pezzella, Liberato Cacace, Saba Goglichidze, Luca Marianucci, and Jacopo Fazzini are no longer parts of the team. We predict that these players will be sorely missed in Saturday’s encounter. Midfielder Nicolas Haas misses out with injury.
The Patavini, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Coppa Italia loss to Vicenza. Padova are not regarded as good travellers, but given the number of departures at Empoli, we predict that the visitors are going to grab one point from their opener. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be summer signing Alessandro Seghetti, who is expected to make his official Padova debut against Empoli.
