Empoli vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting tips
Alarm phase one has arrived for Empoli. If the doctoral candidate does not want to return to the Serie B immediately, it must score points in-house against the already played Fiorentina. In December it was still without a chance in Florence, when it lost 3-1.
Empoli:
Empoli was overtaken by Bologna at the end of March and has been in the relegation zone ever since. The only remaining competitor at the moment seems to be number seventeen Udinese, which has four points more and whose goal balance is five goals better. To make up for this, it seems like an almost impossible job, Empoli still has to compete with Fiorentina and Sampdoria. This is followed by a home game against Torino that is still in the race for European football and an away game at Inter.
Gli Azzuri did not show in recent weeks that it has the qualities to make up for this backlog. The mutual match with Udinese was lost 3-2 while the team from Udine played with half men for half an hour, and low flyers SPAL and Bologna were also lost. In this last game last weekend it became painfully clear that the number eighteen of February has since played much better football under the new trainer while Empoli has only gotten less.
Fiorentina:
Fiorentina was in the running for a long time this season for a listing in the top seven and the corresponding ticket for European football. Since mid-February the achievements are not to write home about and the European aspirations could go to waste. After not winning eight games in a row, the club management appointed an old acquaintance. Vincenzo Montella finished fourth with Fio three seasons in a row and, moreover, reached the cup final and the semi-final of the Europa League with that club. However, his return has not yet led to success. Under his care, Fiorentina lost 2-1 to Atalanta, making it unable to reach the cup final, and in addition, it only won one point in three games in the competition.
Last weekend 0-1 was lost in-house from the also played Sassuolo. In the first half, the away team was the parent and scored rightly through Berardi. Just before half time, La Viola was able to give something back via a penalty but this was missed by Jordan Veretout. It was only the Frenchman’s first miss from nine meters this season, he had hit seven in a row in twelve months.
