Cittadella Empoli betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In the game of the first leg, Empoli took the best by winning at home by 1-0, but in this match the opposite scenario is expected, since both teams go through different moments since the last meeting. Cittadella, who is in a rising zone, should try to control the game and have more chances to reach the goal and thus remain in a rising position. On the other hand, Empoli will try, through counterattacks, to cause some errors in the opponent's defensive and thus win the three important points in the fight for maintenance. However, it is important to note that the visitors are the second worst team out of doors, with only one victory won in ten games. That said and taking these factors into account, betting on a victory for the home team is a good option.

Preview
Cittadella and Empoli meet at Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato, in a match for the 23th round of the Serie B. Empoli got a home win by (1‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 21‑09‑2019. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 4 matches they won 2, tied 1 and lost 1. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 5th and 15th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 15th best team in home matches and the 19th best in away matches.
