ITALY: Serie A
The clash between the two last year's Serie B leaders will feature a match between Salernitana and Empoli. Both teams dominated last year's second top league, with Empoli finishing in first place four points ahead of their actual opponent.
Back then, the duels always won the home team. The first one was won by Empoli 5:0, while the second one was won by Salernitana (2:0). Home team would certainly not be angry for something similar this time, as they have won their only four points this season here, and it was in the last two rounds. It could have been even happier, but Salernitana didn't keep their promising lead in the last match in Spezia (1:2).
But the positive for the new coach Colantuono, who is returning to the scene of action after almost three years, is the fact that the Nigerian Simy, who scored 20 goals for Crotone last year, has finally scored a goal and they would like to see something similar from him here.
Empoli is unpredictable in away games this season. Last time they lost to AS Rome (0:2), but before that they took all the points from Cagliari and Juventus, both without conceding a goal.
Salernitana is the worst team in league. In addition, the coach has to do without several important players - Ruggeri, Coulibaly, Capezzi, Veseli, Gyömber.
Empoli may not be a top club, but they have their quality and managed to rob Juventus of 3 points this season. The visitors will take at least a point.
My prediction: Double Chance: Draw or Empoli @ 1.44 (bet365)
