Prediction:

Empoli has been performing well in Serie A this season, showing solid defensive play and impressive counter-attacking ability, which has helped them secure a respectable position on the standings. The team has demonstrated excellent discipline and teamwork in defense, making it difficult for opponents to find a breakthrough. At the same time, Empoli has also displayed speed and efficiency in counter-attacks, creating threatening opportunities in a short amount of time. This season, Empoli has only scored an average of 0.75 goals per game, the second-lowest in the league in terms of attacking ability. However, they have conceded only 0.83 goals per game, making them the third-best defensive team in Serie A. In their last 10 matches, they have won 3, drawn 4, and lost 3.

Udinese, on the other hand, has also shown solid competitive form this season. The team has several key attacking players who can create diverse offensive strategies. However, their defensive performances have been somewhat inconsistent, and they have occasionally left vulnerabilities that opponents can exploit. In the last 10 meetings between the two sides in Serie A, Udinese has won 4, drawn 3, and lost 3, with a 70% unbeaten rate. Udinese has a relatively low home defeat rate of just 33%, but their away defeat rate is much higher at 67%.

Considering the current form, strength, and historical head-to-head record of both teams, Empoli has the advantage playing at home. However, Udinese’s strong offensive and defensive capabilities could pose a challenge for Empoli. As a result, this match is likely to end in a draw.

Pick: Udinese Asian Handicap +0
