Empoli will aim to continue their push toward the playoff places as they face Sudtirol. As the Azzurri defeated Cesena 1-0 despite missing Pellegri and Saporiti, we predict that they will record a 2-0 win over Sudtirol. Empoli have been solid at the Carlo Castellani, collecting 1.60 points per game at home and losing just once in their last five here. Their home matches tend to be eventful, averaging 2.80 goals, with Empoli finding the net 1.80 times per home match. Defensively they remain stable, keeping 40% clean sheets at home and conceding only 1.00 goal per match.
Sudtirol, meanwhile, are battling inconsistency. Their form of DDDLW reflects a side difficult to beat but rarely convincing. Away from home they struggle to impose themselves, taking just 0.67 points per game and failing to win on the road this season. The attack has been particularly blunt, scoring only 0.50 away goals per match, while failing to score in 50% of their overall fixtures. Their defensive numbers are respectable, but the lack of goal threat remains a major obstacle.
If we compare Empoli's strong home form and Sudtirol’s winless away run, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Serie B clash, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Sudtirol average just 0.50 away goals; Empoli defensively solid).
This Serie B match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 14:00.
