Empoli v Pescara : Serie B match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 22nd Mar, 14:00 BST, Carlo Castellani, Empoli

Vincenzo Vivarini leads his Pescara team to the Carlo Castellani in the Serie B on Sunday afternoon, with Alessio Dionisi's Empoli their challengers. For every Serie B match, KickOff explores the stats for seventeen major betting markets. Important stats, including head-to-head results, are then published alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Empoli and Pescara will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Alessio Dionisi or Vincenzo Vivarini has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to about a 80% probability.
