As Empoli and Palermo seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw at Stadio Carlo Castellani. Empoli enter the match with a full squad available to Guido Pagliuca, and their recent form has improved with back-to-back wins. Their home record, however, has been dominated by draws (four straight before their latest win), but they remain difficult to break down at their own ground. Their matches regularly produce BTTS (80% at home), as Empoli score consistently but also concede often enough to keep games tight.
The Sicilians travel without Gomes and Gyasi, two important players in their midfield/attacking transitions. Away from home they struggle to score (0.83 goals per match) and have failed to score in a third of their away fixtures. The Sicilians have won just one of their last five overall and look less stable than Empoli in both performance levels and availability.
Empoli have dominated this matchup (5 wins in 10 H2H), and Palermo rarely keep clean sheets against them. Even though Palermo struggle away, the data supports BTTS betting option, with additional value on Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Serie B match will be played on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 16:15.
