Empoli vs Cremonese Betting Analysis
Cremonese remains the only winless team this year in Italian Serie A, registering zero wins from 14 games so far. The northern Italians will no doubt look to right that ship here on Friday against Empoli before the World Cup break kicks in after this weekend.
They have a real chance to do just that as they face a team in Empoli who has been struggling mightily of late, winning just one of their last four matches with just two home wins all year.
These two teams tend to play quite tight historically, with over half of all their head-to-head matches since 1997 finishing all square.
Cremonese Buoyed By Milan Result
While their protracted winless streak remains ongoing, Cremonese manager Massimiliano Alvini was extremely impressed with his team’s scoreless draw against AC Milan in midweek and has urged his team to build on that for Friday in their visit to Empoli.
Cremonese’s recent data over their last five starts has also shown reasons for optimism, as they rank top-half in the table in both offensive xG and defensive goals allowed from open play over that timeframe.
Empoli Runs Gauntlet Over Recent Starts
Despite just one win over their last four games, Empoli’s recent schedule has been extremely tough of late, facing Napoli, Sassuolo, Atalanta and Juventus all in quick succession.
However, even with that hard schedule to fall back on, Empoli’s dismal 2.13 xGA allowed per game has them last defensively out of any team in the league over their last five starts and they’ll need to find a way to do a much better job of limiting Cremonese’s chances in this one.
Empoli vs Cremonese Prediction
When this line opened with Cremonese getting a +0.25 head start on the goal spread, we were very interested in backing the road team in this one for Friday.
However, the line on Cremonese has since moved down to a pick ‘em with some rogue +0.25’s still out there provided you can find them at the time of writing.
Cremonese numbers have definitely shown an uptick over recent starts and they face an Empoli team here on Friday who has posted some of the worst numbers in the league at home this year.
The outright draw could also be another serious consideration here from what we’ve seen from these two teams previously, but no matter which way you decide to play this one on Friday, it’s wise to keep Cremonese on-side here considering the way they’re playing right now.
