Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this fixture will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Empoli and Cagliari have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Serie A individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.
