Match preview

Our model makes Palermo clear favourites, giving them a 57% chance of winning against 23% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.76 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.9 goals in total (1.02 for Empoli, 1.85 for Palermo), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Empoli sit 18th on 8 points; Palermo are 1st on 26.

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