Match preview

Our model makes Cesena slight favourites, giving them a 47% chance of winning against 26% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.15 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.5 goals in total (1.45 for Cesena, 1.04 for Empoli), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Cesena sit 12th on 12 points; Empoli are 18th on 8.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
