Competition: Serie B

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

Looking to make a return to winning ways and extend their stay at the top of the table, Empoli will make the trip to Vicenza on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what has been a recent purple patch over the past five weeks, Vicenza now have their sights set on trying to find a route into the top-half of the table. In their 27 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 13 draws and seven defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 37 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 34, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the table and now seven points adrift of finding a shock route into the play-off positions. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory away at Chievo in midweek, Saturday’s hosts have secured back-to-back victories and are unbeaten in each of their last five Serie B contests. It should also be noted, Vicenza have seen each of their last seven straight second-tier matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Empoli still might just be hanging onto their spot at the top of the Serie B table, they have struggled to pick up maximum points of late. In their 27 second-tier contests so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, 14 draws and one defeat, scoring 49 and conceding 24 in return. Opening up this weekend’s fixtures holding a points tally of 50 and a three-point buffer at the top of the table, it should be noted that Empoli do hold the best-attacking record in the division. However, as for their recent run of results, playing out a 1-1 draw against Cittadella last time out, Saturday’s guests have in fact now played out a stalemate in six of their last seven Serie B matchups. It should also be noted, with seven of their last eight fixtures finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome this weekend.
