Empoli vs Salernitana 08.05.2023 Prediction: Serie A

Match Overview

Empoli and Salernitana will battle it out against each other at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Monday. What will interest the spectators from both sides is the fact that while Empoli are ranked in the 15th position of the league table, Salernitana are perched just one spot above them. Both the sides have 35 points to their name.  

Key Highlights

While Empoli come into this game on the back of just one win in their last five matches, Salernitana have been unbeaten in all of the last five matches that they have played. Closer inspection, however, reveals that Salernitana have won only one out of those five matches, drawing the remaining four. This means that they are perhaps on the same boat with Empoli, and that picking a winner here will be extremely challenging.  

Injury Report

Koni de Winter is the only player of Empoli who will not be available for selection in this game. On the other hand, Salernitana have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Federico Fazio, Domen Crnigoj, Diego Valencia and Antonio Candreva. Domagoj Bradaric has been suspended.

Prediction

Empoli, for their part, are ranked 15 in shots on target per match (3.4 shots). Also, they have only scored 4 goals in their last 5 matches. 

Salernitana, on the other hand, have conceded the most penalties this season (10). But they are unbeaten in their last 5 away games. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. A draw seems highly likely.
