Empoli will be desperate to bounce back when they welcome Palermo, having suffered consecutive defeats to Arezzo and Modena as they look to climb away from the danger zone. The hosts have been more reliable on their own turf, collecting 1.75 points per game across their recent home fixtures, but their attacking output remains a concern. Forward Stiven Shpendi is doubtful after picking up a knock in the previous league outing, which could further limit their attacking options.
Palermo, meanwhile, travel to Tuscany aiming to maintain their position at the top of the Serie B standings. The Sicilians have been in excellent form, winning seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions and averaging 2.00 goals per game during that period. They have also shown they can deliver away from home, collecting 1.75 points per game on their recent travels. Defender Mattia Bani is likely to miss out through injury, but Palermo will still fancy their chances against an Empoli side struggling for consistency.
Considering Palermo’s superior form and Empoli’s scoring difficulties, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Palermo or Draw and Over 1.5 goals total (67% H2H).
This Serie B match will be played on Saturday 10 October 2026 at 14:00.
