If you’re keen on betting across various leagues and markets, our Live Bets page showcases active accumulator bets and real-time tips.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Roberto D'Aversa and Luca Gotti to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a deluge of goals as Empoli and Lecce go head-to-head. The stats belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.57 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we're recommending.
