Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Carlo Castellani will host Wednesday’s football game between Empoli and Salernitana, the two bottom-table sides. Empoli made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of their five league fixtures, but the midweek clash could be the turning point for Aurelio Andreazzoli’s troops. Sebastian Walukiewicz is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Elia Caprile and Daniel Maldini are out of contention with injuries.
I Granata, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone. Considering that Salernitana are eager to register their first win of the process as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Both Lassana Coulibaly and Boulaye Dia are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. You should know that both sides managed to find the net in each of their last four meetings in the Italian top flight.
Highlighted Player (Mattia Destro):
Mattia Destro started his youth career at Ascoli, but in 2005 he moved to Inter. The Italian attacker, though, made his debut in the Serie A with Genoa in the 2010/2011 season. He scored 2 goals in 16 appearances for the Rossoblu and at the end of the season he signed a deal with Siena. Destro netted 12 goals for Siena in 30 league appearances for the club and on 30 July, 2012 he joined fellow Serie A team Roma for a fee of €8.5 million.
The Italian footballer made his debut for the capital club on 2 September, 2012 in a 3-1 victory over Inter. Destro scored 24 goals for Roma between 2012 and 2015 and after ending his loan spell with Milan he joined Bologna on 20 August, 2015.
Speaking of his international career, the Bologna forward has 15 caps for Italy U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 15 August, 2012 against England at Wembley Stadium. He made Italy’s 2014 provisional FIFA World Cup squad, but he eventually failed to make the final roster.
