Promotion-chasing Palermo look to extend their outstanding home form as they welcome Empoli to Renzo Barbera. As the Sicilians have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Rosanero have been almost flawless at home, winning 100% of their league matches, keeping a perfect clean-sheet record, and averaging 2.0 goals scored per game. Overall, Palermo collect 2.20 points per match and concede just 0.5 goals, showcasing one of Serie B’s strongest defensive units. However, they will be without banned midfielder Antonio Palumbo, while defender Niccolo Pierozzi is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in the 3-0 win over Bari.
Empoli, meanwhile, have been inconsistent but dangerous away from home, earning 1.80 points per game on the road and winning 60% of their away matches. They keep clean sheets in 60% of away fixtures, though their attack remains modest at just 1.0 goals per away match. There are no fresh injury worries for Empoli after their 0-0 draw with Modena, and their strong defensive discipline will again be key.
Considering Palermo's excellent home record and defensive strength, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, with additional value on Under 2.5 goals and BTTS - No as Empoli away games feature low scoring (avg. 2.0).
This Serie B match will be played on Saturday 7 February 2026 at 16:15.
