Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Venezia and Empoli face each other at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer. Venezia suffered a 1-0 loss to Napoli at the weekend, but their display against Antonio Conte’s troops was anything but poor. The likes of Duncan, Sagrado, and Svoboda remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Antonio Raimondo faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Empoli are desperate to get back on course in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Viti, Solbakken, Brancolini, Ebuehi, Zurkowski, Haas, and Pellegri are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Saba Sazonov will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
