Empoli vs Lecce Prediction 11.12.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 11.12.2023
• Kickoff: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
• Venue: Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli)

It seems that this will be another season in which Empoli will fear until the end whether they will manage to preserve their status in Serie A for the next season. A draw in the previous round against Genoa did not move Empoli too much in the table, so they are now in 17th place with 11 points, 1 point more than Verona, which is in the danger zone. This club has achieved only one victory in the previous 5 matches, and these games on the home field against competing teams are especially important.

Lecce has been in a big decline for a month or so. They haven't won a Serie A match since September 22, but they are still solidly placed in 13th place with 16 points. In the last 3 matches they played a draw and the one that will be remembered is against Milan 2-2. This is a very good team that can reach the middle of the table if they improve their form, and the big problem is away games because Lecce has not yet won a single match away from their stadium.

Empoli vs Lecce pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

It may not seem too encouraging to bet on teams from the lower part of the Italian Serie A with a higher number of goals, especially when they play each other, but Empoli is one of the teams in whose matches we can often see 3 or more goals. In 7 of their matches so far, 20 goals have been scored, which is almost 3 goals per match on average. In 3 out of 4 of their previous duels, both teams scored at least one goal, and when it comes to Lecce, that number is even more impressive. In 5 out of 5 of the last matches, both teams scored. In direct duels, this market was won in 4 out of 5 previous direct matches. The statistics are very good and we expect an efficient match with goals on both sides.
