Empoli lost in the last five games against Lazio. Can they break this streak on Saturday? What to expect from this fixture? Our answers are in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Empoli

Empoli finished first in Serie B last season and got promoted into the top league. Alessio Dionisi's team was in the lead throughout the whole tournament. After achieving the main goal with Empoli, Dionisi moved on to Sassuolo, and now the Blues are led by Aurelio Andreazzoli, who had previously managed the team in Serie A.

Empoli loaned the forward Patrick Cutrone from Wolverhampton, who is a great asset to the team. Cutrone has already made his debut for Empoli against Vicenza in Coppa Italia (4: 2), but the former AC Milan striker is yet to make his contribution.

Lazio

Lazio did not achieve their goal last season. The Eagles expected to get into the Champions League, but they finished only sixth. After managing Lazio for many years, Simone Inzaghi left, unable to resist an offer from Inter Milan. The club from Rome will enter the new season under the leadership of Maurizio Sarri.

Felipe Anderson, whose career in England didn't work out, has returned to the squad. Pedro was signed from Roma.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+1) to Empoli

1.67

Empoli traditionally play well at home, plus they don't need to rebuild their team. They will definitely put up a fight against the favourite. For Lazio, this will be the first game under Sarri, who still needs to find his touch. The Eagles aren't in the best shape yet, and that gives Empoli a fair chance.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Empoli.

Will the prediction win?

TipTotal over 2.5 goals

1.77

Empoli are unlikely to park the bus. At home, the Blues will play boldly in attack and fight for points. Defense has never been among Lazio's strengths, so they are likely to concede. But at the same time, the Eagles score regularly, so we are looking forward to many goals in this fixture.

Our second bet - total over 2.5 goals.
