Our Predictions
Four of their last five meetings saw goals both ways, and Empoli's games often feature open play; odds of 1.87 offer decent value given weak defending from both teams.

Venezia are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10, including away matches, while Empoli struggles for consistency, making the away win at 2.60 a solid call.
