Empoli vs Cagliari: Prediction
Cagliari have been involved in some interesting and high-scoring games this term. There was an eight-goal thriller with Fiorentina, a six-goal fiesta against Torino, and a tie with Lazio that saw five goals scored. Unfortunately for the Rossoblu, they also have been on the losing end in all of those games.
Meanwhile, Empoli’s attack continues to hinder the squad, and their fans will be hoping that they can take advantage of Cagliari’s leaky back-line, but this could possibly shape out to be a rather dull affair. Empoli will want to pick up at least a point and will play ultra-defensively, whilst the Rossoblu will be concerned about shipping five without reply. Their efforts could end up cancelling each other out.
Empoli vs Cagliari: Bet tips
Double chance – Cagliari to DRAW or WIN at 4/5 (1.80)
