Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this game will have 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Empoli and Lazio have seldom served up thrillers of late, whether that be in Serie A individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite draw or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.

Goal Statistics

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Empoli fans, as should a 15 Serie A matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Goals have been an issue for Lazio of late. It has been 5 Serie A matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday morning against Empoli.
