Lazio vs Empoli Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Empoli have found the going extremely tough on their top-flight travels of late, with the strugglers suffering ten consecutive defeats as part of a run that has seen them secure just one point from a possible 36. Lazio, by way of contrast, have won ten and drawn four of their previous 13 home games at the top table of the Serie A, so this looks to be a mismatch.

Lazio actually got off to an entertaining start when their coach picked up the managerial reins, but it is noticeable that nine of their last ten Serie A matches on home soil have produced three goals or fewer. What’s more, this has also been the case in eight of the last nine Empoli away games at this elite domestic level.

The previous four Lazio home matches in the Serie A have produced an impressive total of 16 goals, with both teams on target in every single one of these encounters. Given that three of the most recent four Empoli away games at the top table of the Serie A have followed the same pattern, any deviation from the script here would represent a surprise.
