Competition: Serie B

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 3/4 @ Bet 365

Hoping to extend their buffer in the play-off spots when making their return this week, Spezia will host Empoli on Friday afternoon in what should be a lively encounter.

Starting with the hosts, while Spezia might make their return still sat in the play-off positions, they were showing some signs of a struggle prior to the break. In their 28 Serie B matches this season, they have recorded 12 wins, eight draws, and eight defeats, scoring 40 and conceding 32 in return. Holding a six-point buffer in the top-eight, it should also be noted that no side outside the automatic spots holds a better-attacking record than Spezia. However, as for their previous run of results, Friday’s hosts had won just one of their last four Serie B appearances and it should also be noted that out of their last six second-tier outings, five of those contests have seen both teams find the net by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, entering the enforced break on an eye-catching run of form, Empoli have their sights set on landing a top-eight finish this season. In their 28 Serie B matchups this year, they have recorded 10 wins, 10 draws, and eight defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 34 in return. With a points tally of 40, they mark their return sat in ninth and just a single point adrift of breaking into the play-off positions. As for their previous run of results, Empoli have lost just one of their last eight Serie B outings, winning six of those contests. Also winning their last three away fixtures, it should also be noted that out of those eight second-tier appearances, six of those have seen both teams find the net by full-time.
