Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Reggiana and Empoli take on each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in the opening match of the Serie B round 2. Reggiana aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Palermo and, no doubt, their stadium will be packed on Friday evening. All Girma, Sampirisi, and Urso are out of contention with injuries, while experienced defender Paolo Rozzio is pushing for a start.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, are eyeing a quick return to the Italian top flight. Empoli proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Padova in their opener and given their fine record against Reggiana in the 21st century, there is a big value in betting on the away team. Both Degli Innocenti and Pellegri are sidelined with injuries, while Stiven Shpendi is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Anyhow, we predict that the promotion hopefuls are going to emerge triumphant in Friday’s clash.
