Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Verona
Match Time & Date:
22/11/2021
19:30
Prediction: 3-0
Empoli
After holding Napoli to a 1-1 draw before the international break, Verona will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they host Empoli to Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Monday evening. The Mastini have been impressive on home soil this season, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive triumph in the “City of Love”. Both Bessa and Kalinic are sidelined through suspension, while Frabotta misses out with injury. Both Lazovic and Ilic are rated doubtful for the match.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, have been playing above expectations in the 2021/22 season, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings. Even though Empoli are level on points with Verona ahead of Matchday 13, we are tempted to put our money on the Mastini, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Viti is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the match.
