LiontipsFiorentina - Empoli: Italian Championship match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Fiorentina has a very tense end to the season, fighting for European Cup places in Serie A and in the battle for the trophy in the Conference League, where they will play the first semi-final match against Betis on the road this week. In the championship, Raffaele Palladino's team occupies only the eighth place and is three points behind the top six in the European Cup. For five rounds, Fiorentina has not lost (three wins and two draws), but even such good results do not allow them to enter the top 6, as there is very serious competition. In the last round, we managed to beat Cagliari 2-1 on the road in a hard fight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Beauvais, Colpani and Dodo will not play today due to health problems.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five matches, Fiorentina has not lost in the first half.
- At home in Serie A, the Violets did not concede in seven of the eight previous matches.
Approximate composition: De Gea – Pongracic, Ranieri, Marie – Folorunsho, Mandragora, Cataldi, Faggioli, Gosens – Keen, Gudmundsson.
Current form
Empoli is solving its problems in the fight for survival in Serie A. By the upcoming match, the team is in 19th place in the relegation zone, but the saving 17th place is only one point away. Even such a handicap will not be easy to win back, as it has not been possible to win the championship since December last year. After a successful start, the Blues fell into a deep crisis. The only positive moment is reaching the semi–finals of the Italian Cup, where they failed to defeat Bologna, losing with a total score of 1:5 in the sum of two matches. By the way, in 1/8 of this tournament, we managed to beat our current opponent, Fiorentina, in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Haas, Sazonov, Pellegri, Ismayli, Malech, Jurkowski, Kouame will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches, Empoli has drawn in the first half.
- Empoli has not won in eight previous away matches in Serie A (three draws and five defeats)
The approximate line-up: Vasquez – Marianucci, Viti, Goglichidze – Gyasi, Henderson, Grassi, Pezzella – Fazzini, Esposito – Colombo.

7.40Tip and bets
The match against Empoli will obviously be of fundamental importance for the Fiorentina players, since this opponent could not be beaten in six face-to-face matches in a row, and in the last cup game it was not possible to go through to the 1/8 finals. Now is a very good time for violets to interrupt these failures. The Blues have been on the decline in the championship for a long time, they have not won a single match this year. We believe that due to the home field factor and the advantage in class, Fiorentina will take three points today.
Our betting tip is that Fiorentina will win by a factor of 1.87
Bet on the total
Empoli has noticeable problems in attack, as in three of the previous five matches it was not possible to hit the opponents' goal. There is a high probability that the violets will not be able to score at least once today.
The second bet is Empoli's individual goal total of less than one with a coefficient of 1.53
Betting on corners
As hosts, Fiorentina will obviously spend a lot of time at other people's gates and are able to win with a big advantage on corners. Moreover, in six of the last seven face-to-face meetings in Serie A at home, the Violets beat Empoli on the corners with an advantage of at least three corners.
Prediction – Fiorentina wins on corners with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 2.11
