Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Empoli
Match Time & Date:
11/11/2018
09:00 AM
Prediction: 0-1
Udinese
As expected, Empoli suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Napoli at Stadio San Paolo in their last league match and it has to be noted that they conceded 10 goals in total in previous three league fixtures. The Azzurri obviously suffered a dip in form and seeing that they sit in the relegation zone ahead of Matchday 12, home win should not be considered. Udinese were more than unfortunate not to hold Milan to a goalless draw at the weekend as the Rossoneri scored the winner in the seventh minute of the stoppage time. The Zebrette are eager to bounce back from the unlucky defeat and seeing that Empoli have been struggling at the back of late, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s football game. You should know that Udinese are after their first win over Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani since January 2015.
