Empoli - Salernitana

Big game tonight for the top of Serie B with Empoli hosting Salernitana in Carlo Castellani.

Despite the fact that the two teams are in 1st and 3rd place with 34 and 31 points respectively, claiming the immediate promotion, the differences that have slowly begun to appear. Empoli has the mentality of a 1st division team and its only goal this year is to rise, while on the other hand Salernitana is making an impressive course, but lately, with the two consecutive defeats, you are correcting its scoring harvest and I think it will decline even more.

If we look at the prehistory from 2000 onwards, the hosts have made their opponents clients as it is the team that has achieved the most Serie B victories after Ascoli and Citadel. They have no problem scoring against them as they score more than one goal in the last 9 of the 11 matches they have hosted (24 goals in total).

Empoli is perhaps the most serious team in the category by far. It proved it against Napoli that its resistance was reduced in the end by a goal by Petania in 76 '(3-2). The only significant absence that he will have today is the Batinelli midfielder who remains apart from the previous month due to injury. On the other hand, the team of Rou Castori, who will watch the match from the podium, are expected to have a serious problem in the midfield with the key players Di Takio and Capetsi absent. 

Empoli is a better team, it excels in all its opponent's statistics and I think it will beat it comfortably. The best that Salernitana can achieve in the match is a goal that would help us a lot. My prediction is 1 & Over2.5 at odds of 2.57 at Stoiximan.
