Command Analysis
Udinese
ItalyCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Udinese was not considered a clear contender for a ticket to European competitions, the selection of players did not allow them to set themselves such ambitious goals, but at the same time, Costa Runjic's team was able to keep their registration in Serie A without problems. At the moment, Zebras occupy the 10th place in the table with 30 points in the asset and are 10 points ahead of the relegation zone, such a handicap allows us to look optimistically into the future. In the last round, Udinese drew 1-1 with Napoli away, managing to score points in the second match in a row.

Empoli
ItalyCurrent form
Empoli approached the start of the season as a clear contender for relegation from Serie A – the selection of players did not allow them to set themselves too ambitious goals. However, the Azzurri gave a very powerful start and scored a lot of points during this period, which is still enough to avoid falling into the relegation zone. While the Toscans occupy 17th place in the table with 21 points in the asset and are one point ahead of 18th Parma, there is a risk of being at the bottom today. After losing 0-2 to Milan in the last round, Empoli suffered its second defeat in a row and its 11th of the season.

2.85Tip and bets
Udinese took points from the leader in the last round, looks more than decent in the game and will certainly strive only for victory at home. Obviously, Empoli has little chance of winning back today – there is reliability in defense, there are serious personnel problems, and in general, the Toscans have been in crisis for a long time. At the same time, the tournament position obliges Empoli to take risks, despite a series of failures, the Azzurri score regularly and will surely respond with one goal today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Betting on the outcome
Udinese has little chance of competing for a place in the European Cup, but there is still a theoretical opportunity to compete for seventh place, so today the hosts will clearly be determined to get all three points. Zebras have a serious advantage in the selection of players, they also look quite decent in the game, and they are quite capable of setting maximum goals in the confrontation with such an opponent as Empoli. Recently, the Azzurri has been frankly disappointing, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
The bet is Udinese's victory. This bet is offered for 1.85
